A.A. Mahmood , K. Sidik and I. Salmah

Abstract: The gastric protective effect of honey in combination with extract of fenugreek seeds was investigated in rats against ethanol-induced gastric damage. Macroscopically, oral administration of honey alone or honey in combination with seed extracts or with cimeidine induced a significantly decrease (p<0.05) in gastric lesions. Histological studies revealed that honey in combination with aqueous seeds extract was significantly more effective than honey alone or honey in combination with alcoholic extract in preventing gastric lesions formation. These observations showed that fenugreek aqueous seed extracts posse`s anti-ulcer potential.
