Gastroprotective effect of aucubin against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice

Aucubin, an iridoid glycoside, was isolated from seeds of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver. This study was aimed to evaluate the protective effect of aucubin against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury in mice.Mice were orally administrated with aucubin (20, 40 and 80mg/kg) for 3 consecutive days.
