M. Rama Devi*, N. Siva Subramanian, A.Tamilsevan, S.Anbazhagan, Umesh B Telrandhe
ABSTRACT
The effect of chloroform and methanolic extract of Ficus virens leaf was investigated in rats to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity by using ethanol and pyloric ligation models experimentally induced gastric ulcer. The parameters taken to assess anti-ulcer activity were volume of gastric secretion, pH, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index. The results indicate that the ethanolic extract 200mg/kg significantly decreases the volume of gastric acid secretion, pH, free acidity, total acidity and ulcer index with respect to standard. Keywords: virens Aiton, pyloric ligation, ethanol induced ulcer activity. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
