title: Influence of antioxidants and radical scavengers on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in the rat.
abstract: Sodium benzoate in doses which do not possess antisecretory properties, produced a dose-dependent reduction of ethanol-induced gastric lesions in the rat. Indomethacin pretreatment antagonized sodium benzoate-ulcer reducing properties indicating that this latter acts, at least in part, through stimulation of prostaglandins synthesis. Propyl gallate reduced ethanol-induced gastric lesions in doses which exert antisecretory properties.
