3.0 METHOD:

Model-1

· Ulcerate will be induced in rats by pyloric ligation (abdomen opened by a small midline incision below the xiphoid process. The pyloric portion of the stomach is identified, slightly lifted out and ligated. The stomach is then replaced careful and the abdominal wall is closed with sutures).

· Animals are deprived of both food and water during the postoperative period and are sacrificed at the end of 4 h after the operation.

· The stomach is dissected out as a whole by passing a ligature at the esophageal end.

· The stomach is then separated from the surrounding tissues and organs and bring out as a whole along with its contents.

· Rats are fasted for 48 h prior to the surgical procedure and kept on raising mesh bottomed cages to avoid coprophagy.

· The contents are subjected to centrifugation [3000 Revolutions per minute (rpm) for 10 minutes (min)] and analyzed for volume, pH, free and total acidity, ulcer score ulcer index and gastric wall mucus content.

· Ketamine hydrochloride anesthesia [45 mg/kg, intra peritoneal (i.p.)]

· Ulcerate animals will be randomized into four groups of 8 animals each.

· Group G1 and G2 animals will be treated as normal control (without Ulcer) and Negative control (with Pyloric ligation) respectively.

· Both the groups will be administered with normal saline or 0.25% Na- CMC.

· Animals of group G3 will be treated as reference control and administered Ranitidine at the dose of 30 mg/kg; p.o.

· Similarly, animals of group G4 to G5 will be administered with natural probiotic formulation(s) at different dose ratio.

· Animals will be humanely sacrificed; stomach will be isolated, weighed and processed for histopathological analysis.

Model-2

· All formulation are administered orally 30 min prior to ethanol administration.

· The GI serve as normal control which receives normal saline (1 ml/p.o.) whereas animals in GII receive ethanol.

· GIII animals received reference drug ranitidine. Rats in GIV and V received natural probiotic formulation at 2 different dose ratio p.o. respectively.

· The animals are administered with absolute ethanol (99 %) at the dose of 1 ml/kg of animal orally after the 30 min of treatment with natural probiotic formulation and reference drug ranitidine.

· After 1h the animals were sacrificed and the stomachs were cut along the greater curvature and washed carefully with saline, after which they were observed for ulcer score and ulcer index.

4.0 END POINT PARAMETER(S):

· Clinical observation

· Feed water consumption

· Body Weight.

· The stomach will be isolated, weighed

· The contents are subjected to centrifugation [1000rpm for10min] and analyzed for volume, pH, free and total acidity, ulcer score ulcer index and gastric wall mucus content.




· Antioxidant-activity- Lipid peroxidation & Catalase of Gastric tissue.

· Histopathology of Gastric tissue.
