Abstract

An ulcer is definite as a disease that happens owing to subside of the epithelial mucosal wall of the stomach when unguarded to an additional of hydrochloric acid and pepsin enzyme. Research for a potential anti-ulcer agent involves appropriate in vitro or in vivo models. Due to their anatomical, physiological, and genetic similarities to humans, rodents like mice and rats are ideal among the various animal models. In vivo methods are usually applied, as the sickly condition in human being can be imitated with distinct animal prototypes. The in vitro methods have been not often used for investigation of anti-ulcer agents.
