Hecogenin (3.1-90 mg/kg; oral administration; for 15 hours; male Swiss mice) acutely administered, before ethanol, exhibits a potent gastroprotective effect. The Hecogenin pretreatment normalizes GSH levels and significantly reduces lipid peroxidation and nitrite levels in the stomach, as evaluated by the ethanol-induced gastric lesion model. Hecogenin also decreases MPO release and significantly protects the gastric mucosa. Animal Model:Male Swiss mice (20-30 g) with ethanol Dosage:3.1 mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg, 15 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, 60 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg Administration:Oral administration; for 15 hours Result:Normalized GSH levels and significantly reduced lipid peroxidation and nitrite levels in the stomach, as evaluated by the ethanol-induced gastric lesion model. Decreased MPO release and significantly protected the gastric mucosa.
