<title>Gastroprotective Activity of Ethanolic Extract of Trachyspermum Ammi Fruit</title>
<abstract> lessThan i greaterThan Trachyspermum ammi lessThan /i greaterThan  fruit have traditionally been used in India as medicinal plant for the treatment of indigestion and dyspepsia and many other gastric disorders. In the present study ethanolic extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Trachyspermum ammi  lessThan /i greaterThan fruit was used for investigation of antiulcer activity by using pylorus ligation, as anti-secretary model and Indomethacin induced ulcer model, ethanol induced ulceration model, cold restraint stress induced ulcer model as cytoprotective model. Animals pretreated with ethanolic extract of  lessThan i greaterThan Trachyspermum ammi lessThan /i greaterThan  fruit at the dose 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg showed significant decrease in ulcer index and percentage ulcer protection in all models. The results suggests that the extract at 100mg/kg and 200mg/kg showed significant protection (p lessThan  0.001) by reducing ulcerative lesions when compared with control group of animals. These findings indicate that  lessThan i greaterThan Trachyspermum ammi lessThan /i greaterThan  fruit extract shows significant antiulcer activity. </abstract>
