In a rat model of gastric ulcers induced by ethanol induction and pyloric ligation [108], as well as by aspirin [109], ART significantly reduced gastric mucosal damage, inhibited gastric acid secretion, increased the pH of gastric secretions, and significantly decreased Glutathione (GSH) and Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity; TNF-α levels; and the level of inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-6, and NF-κB (p65) while elevating Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels. This evidence concerns the gene MPO and gastric ulcer.
