Gastroprotective effect of Oxalis corniculata (whole plant) on experimentally induced gastric ulceration in Wistar rats

Abstract: The objective of the present study was to investigate the antiulcer activity of methanol extract of Oxalis corniculata (whole plant) using pylorus ligation and indomethacin-induced gastric ulceration in Wistar rats. The extract was preliminary evaluated for acute oral toxicity test using Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development guidelines 423. Further, it was studied for antiulcer potential at the dose levels of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg. Ranitidine was used as a standard drug (100 mg/kg). Acid secr… Show more

“…An orange (free acidity) or permanent pink (total acidity) color was observed. 32 The acidity is expressed in meq/l as follows: Total/free acidity=n×0.01×36.45×1000 n=volume of NaOH consumed, 0.01=normality of NaOH, 36.45=molecular weight of NaOH, and 1000=factor represents in liters.…”
