Abstract:Neutrophil-derived oxygen free radicals have been implicated in the aetiology of gastric tissue damage. In this study, the ameliorative effects of Allium cepa on neutrophil infiltration, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities in the ethanol-induced gastric injury were examined. Twenty four adult male Wistar rats were used for this study and divided into four groups; Control, Allium cepa, Allium cepa + Ethanol and Ethanol. Allium cepa was administered (1mL/100g body weight) daily for twenty eight … Show more
