Efficacy of plantago major in an experimental ischemic colitis model.

This article discusses a study conducted on the efficacy of plantago major extract and pentoxifylline in an experimental ischemic colitis model in rats. The study aimed to investigate the effects of these substances on ischemia reperfusion injury. The results showed that both plantago major extract and pentoxifylline were effective in reducing the symptoms of ischemic colitis compared to the placebo group. However, there was no statistically significant positive effect on ischemia. The study demonstrated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of plantago major extract.
