Popis: | Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., Schisandraceae, is a common Chinese traditional medicine for the treatment of nervous system disorders and cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about its efficacy in treating gastrointestinal diseases. In the present study, the protective effect of the ethanol extract of S. chinensis against ethanol-induced acute gastric lesions was investigated in mice. Furthermore, we developed a method based on high-performance liquid chromatography for the quantification of bioactive lignans with a dibenzocyclooctadiene skeleton. The ethanol extract of S. chinensis significantly decreased the ulcer index, sheltered mucosa from lesions, increased levels of superoxide dismutase, decreased malondialdehyde levels, and downregulated plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β. Our findings demonstrated the gastroprotective properties of the ethanol extract of S. chinensis. |
