Gastric ulcer healing effect of wild honey and its combination with Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val.) Rhizome on male Wistar rats
Gastric ulcer is a common disorder in human at any ages.In this research,the antiulcer activity of wild honey produced by Apis dorsata,alone or in combination with Turmeric Rhizome,was evaluated in healing acute gastric ulcer.Male Wistar albino rats (150-250 g) were induced ulcers with aspirin at 405 mg/kg BW and ethanol.Antiulcer evaluation was done based on the gastric acidity,numbers and diameter of ulcers,ulcer index,healing ratio,histological examinations,and body weight.The results showed that the groups given honey alone,turmeric alone,and combination of turmeric-honey displayed significant ulcer healing compared to the control group.Ulcers in the group administered with combination of turmeric-wild honey was different significantly from the turmeric alone and wild honey alone groups with increased body weight in that group.The result showed that wild honey (2125 mg/kg BW) had the greatest activity in healing ulcers among other groups.The combination of turmeric-wild honey had a good activity in healing ulcers and increased the body weight of the group.
