The aim of this study was to see how an aqueous extract of Musa sapientum Linn's unripe fruit combined with Vitamin C affected aspirin and ethanol-induced ulcer models in Wistar rats. It's a tropical plant whose fruit is commonly eaten as a healthy food all over the world.
Anti-ulcer research was conducted.
Between February and April 2016, I studied at the Department
of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at Delta State University in Abraka, Delta
State, Nigeria.
Methodology: For each model, 45 rats were divided into 9 groups of five. The
animals were given doses of 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 1000 mg/kg of Musa
sapientum (MS) alone and in combination with Vitamin C 100 mg/kg (1:1), while
another group received Vitamin C 100 mg/kg and the control group received distilled
water. A separate group received omeprazole 20 mg/kg. The animals' stomachs
were cut for inspection after they were sacrificed.
Results: In both models, the aqueous extract of unripe Musa sapientum Linn
fruit showed a substantial (P0.05) reduction in ulcers, which was boosted by
the addition of Vitamin C.
