(1) Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the gastroprotective potential of ferulic acid (FA) on indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats with macroscopic and microscopic examinations along with biochemical assays. (2) Methods: After 24 h starvation, the ulcer was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by subcutaneous indomethacin (25 mg/kg) injection. Fifteen minutes after ulcer induction, rats were treated with either tween 80 or FA. FA was given by oral gavage at 100 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg, and 500 mg/kg. In the fourth hour, rats were euthanized and collected gastric samples were evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. Antioxidant parameters including malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and inflammatory parameters comprising of myeloperoxidase (MPO), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α, Interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and Nuclear Factor Kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 levels were also determined. (3) Results: Indomethacin injection significantly increased the macroscopic and microscopic scores. In addition, it increased the gastric MDA, MPO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and NF-κB p65 levels but reduced SOD and GSH content. Treatment with FA significantly improved the gastric injury macroscopically and microscopically. Moreover, FA displayed a marked decrease in the gastric levels of MDA, MPO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and NF-κB p65 and a significant increase in SOD and GSH compared to the INDO group. Ultimately, 250 mg/kg FA was determined as the most effective dose. (4) Conclusion: Our results revealed that FA has a gastroprotective effect against indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a result, FA may be a potential treatment choice for gastric ulcers.
(1) 背景:本研究旨在通过宏观和微观检查以及生化分析评估阿魏酸(FA)对吲哚美辛诱导的大鼠胃溃疡的胃保护潜力。(2) 方法:禁食24小时后,通过皮下注射吲哚美辛(25mg/kg)在雄性Sprague-Dawley大鼠中诱导溃疡。溃疡诱导后15分钟,大鼠用吐温80或FA处理。FA通过口服灌胃给予,剂量分别为100mg/kg、250mg/kg和500mg/kg。在第四小时,对大鼠实施安乐死并收集胃样本,进行宏观和微观评估。还测定了抗氧化参数,包括丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD),以及炎症参数,包括髓过氧化物酶(MPO)、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α、白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-6和核因子κB(NF-κB)p65水平。(3) 结果:吲哚美辛注射显著增加了宏观和微观评分。此外,它增加了胃MDA、MPO、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6和NF-κB p65水平,但降低了SOD和GSH含量。FA处理显著改善了宏观和微观层面的胃损伤。此外,与吲哚美辛组相比,FA使胃中MDA、MPO、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6和NF-κB p65水平显著降低,SOD和GSH显著增加。最终,确定250mg/kg FA为最有效剂量。(4) 结论:我们的结果表明,由于其抗氧化和抗炎特性,FA对吲哚美辛诱导的大鼠胃溃疡具有胃保护作用。因此,FA可能是胃溃疡的一种潜在治疗选择。
