Our objective is to determine the gastric regenerative effect of Petroselinum sativum L. (parsley) consumption in rats with ethanol- induced gastritis. We developed an analytical, experimental, classical, cross-sectional, prospective study. We worked with 36 male Wistar rats (250 ± 30 g.p.c.) randomly distributed into 6 groups (n=6). Groups II-VI were subjected to a 24-hour fast to induce gastric ulcer by administering 10 mL/kg.p.c. of 70% ethanol via orogastric. After one hour, group II was sacrificed to observe the ulcerative damage in the stomach. Afterward, the aqueous extract of fresh parsley leaves (EAHP) was prepared, and the following treatment was administered to the other groups through the orogastric route for 3 days: group III, 10 mL/kg.p.c. 0.9% NaCl solution; and EAHP to groups IV-VI (150, 300, and 600 mg/Kg.p.c., respectively). The rats were then fasted for 24 hours before being sacrificed by breaking their necks. Subsequently, a laparotomy was performed to extract the stomach. The EAHP generated greater production of gastric mucus in the doses of 300 mg/kg.p.c. with 78.03% and 600 mg/kg.p.c. with 80.52% (p<0.05). This was consistent with what was observed histologically in the gastric mucosa, showing only signs of inflammation of the submucosa in the groups that consumed EAHP (IV-VI), compared with fibrinoid necrosis in the groups that did not consume it (II and III). In conclusion, the consumption of EAHP has a gastric regenerative effect in rats with ethanol-induced gastritis.
