Possible dietary protective factors in relation to the distribution of duodenal ulcer in India and Bangladesh.

Abstract

SUMMARY In India there are regions of high incidence and regions of low incidence of duodenal ulcer. Rats prefed for two weeks on diets from low incidence areas developed significantly fewer rumenal ulcers after pyloric ligation than rats fed on diets from high incidence areas. The protective action was found in various individual items of food taken from the diets of low incidence areas.

Natural Antioxidants in Edible Flours of Selected Small Millets

“…[2] However, the minor millets have remained staple food for the traditional consumers mainly because of lack of ready-to-use products similar to rice and wheat, and also due to 42 ASHARANI, JAYADEEP, AND MALLESHI the lack of awareness on their nutritional quality and health benefits. Hence, there is an immense potential for the development of a number of value added products with an edge on health benefits.…”

Effect of Leaves and Fruits ofMoringa oleifera. on Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers

“…(Moringaceae) leaves (Jayaraj et al, 1998). Furthermore, flower bud of Moringa pterygosperma, a synonym of Moringa oleifera that is widely consumed in Pakistan, has been reported to possess antiulcer activity against aspirin-induced gastric ulcers in rats (Akhtar & Ahmad, 1995).…”

Diet: Its Role in the Genesis of Peptic Ulceration

“…In addition the nature of the potent cytoprotective liposoluble substance obtained from various foods by Jayaraj et al [102] needs to be identified. This factor is active in extremely small doses and its action appears to differ from those mentioned above.…”

“…The possibility of protective factors being present in the diet of low-incidence areas in India was investigated by Tovey et al [100,103] and Jayaraj et al [101,102]. Using pylorus ligated rats, animals prefed for 2 weeks on diets from low-incidence areas de veloped significantly fewer rumenal ulcers than rats fed on diets from high incidence areas.…”
