Popis: Background: This study investigated the effects of pre-treatment with Moringa oleifera extract on the histomorphology and histomorphometry of the pylorus and duodenum of rats following ethanol-induced gastrointestinal injury. Methods: Following extract and ethanol treatment, pylorus and duodenum of the rats were processed for histological procedures, and tissue quantification of total antioxidant capacity, to access the protective abilities of the extract. Results: We showed that Moringa oleifera extract significantly reduces (p
