Abstract

It is well known that flavonoids are the inhibitory effects on inflammations. This study was designed to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of luteolin-7-O-${\beta}$D-glucuronopyranoside (LGC). newly synthesized flavonoids. which was extracted from Salix gilgiana leaves. We investigated the protective action of LGC on reflux esophagitis and gastritis in rats. Esophagitis and gastritis were induced by surgical procedures and the exposure to indomethacin (50 mg/kg), respectively. LGC was injected intraduodenally immediately after the surgical procedures and the exposure to indomethacin (omitted)
