Stress was induced by using the Strain and Water Immersion technique (6 hours). Ulcer incidence and severity were quantified by an ulcer index.A honey solution, which consisted of 40% honey in water, was administered orally in dose-volumes of 1,3, 5.7 and 14 mt/kg, 20 mm before stress induction in 48 hr-fasting rats. Control rats receivedequivalent volumes of a Honey Control Solution (HCS). The systemic effects of honey on stress induced ulcers were examined by intraperitoneal injection of hcuxey (3.5 mt/kg) 10 mm. before stress induction. The effect of a honey solution on gastro-mntestinal tract motility was examined by using a charcoal meal incorporated with honey or tiCS. Results show that intraluminal honey administration lowers the incidence of stress-induced ulcers by 15% relative to that of control rats who received saline (X2 = 3.1, P = .07). Rats pretreated with a honey solution (3,5,7 and 14 mt/kg) showed a significantly lower ulcer index than HCS-pretreated rats (P < .05). Incorporation of honey into a charcoal meal lowers G.LT. stress-induced hypermotility by 37.8% of matched control received saline incorporated charcoal meal. It was concluded that intraluminal administration of honey decreases the severity of stress-induced ulcers in rats  ISSN : 1319-1004  Journal Name : Medical Science Journal  Volume : 7  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1419 AH 1999 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, April 20, 2012  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عدنان المزروع Al-Mazrooa, Adnan Investigator Doctorate   منصور سليمان Sulaiman, Mansour Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  32917.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
