Model: Acute ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and chronic acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer
In ethanol-induced ulcer, the essential oil, citral and geraniol reduced ulcer area by 51.67, 96.57 and 55.74 per cent respectively versus vehicle (25.82 +/- 3.59 mm). In acetic acid-induced ulcer, the essential oil at 10 mg/kg and geraniol at 3 mg/kg accelerated healing by 34.52 and 80.57 per cent…
