Amelioration of alcohol‑induced gastric mucosa damage by oral administration of food‑polydeoxyribonucleotides.

ABSTRACT: Gastritis refers to inflammation caused by injury to the gastric epithelium, which is usually due to excessive alcohol consumption and prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from this disease. However, the lack of safe and promising treatments makes it urgent to explore and develop leads from natural resources. Therefore, food as medicine may be the best approach for the treatment of these disorders. The present study described the protective effects of food‑polydeoxyribonucleotides (f‑PDRNs) in a rat model of gastric mucosal injury induced by HCl‑EtOH. Administration of f‑PDRN was performed with low‑PRF002 (26 mg/kg/day), medium‑PRF002 (52 mg/kg/day) and high‑PRF002 (78 mg/kg/day) on the day of autopsy. The site of damage to the muc
