The aqueous extract from Artemisia capillaris inhibits acute gastric mucosal injury by inhibition of ROS and NF-kB

Taken together, our findings suggest that AEAC inhibits inflammation and maintains oxidant/antioxidant homeostasis, resulting in a gastro-protective effect against HCl/ethanol-induced gastric damage. Therefore, AEAC might be a promising drug or useful neutraceutical for treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer.
