Prooxidant activity of norbixin in model of acute gastric ulcer induced by ethanol in rats

Abstract: Free radicals and oxidative stress play a central role in gastric injuries caused by ethanol (EtOH). Antioxidant strategies to counteract EtOH toxicity are highly desirable. Norbixin (NBIX) is a carotenoid with antioxidant potential largely used in the food industry. This study evaluated the NBIX effects in a model of gastric ulcer induced by EtOH in rats. Male Wistar rats received NBIX doses of 0, 10, and 25 mg/kg by gavage 1 h after EtOH administration (0 or 75% solution, 1 mL/200 g of animal). The … Show more

Ethanol promotes the overproduction of ROS, which attack the gastric mucosa and reduce antioxidants.…”
