Researchers have discovered that strawberries can protect the stomach lining from alcohol, boosting hopes of improved treatment of stomach ulcers。

The scientists gave ethanol to laboratory rats and found that the stomach mucous membrane of those which had eaten strawberry extract for the previous ten days suffered less damage。

Researcher Sara Tulipani, of the University of Barcelona, said: "The positive effects of strawberries are not only linked to their antioxidant capacity, but also to the fact that they activate the antioxidant defences and enzymes of the body."

Scientists say a diet rich in strawberries can help to prevent gastric illnesses and slow down the formation of stomach ulcers。

The scientists said ulcer treatments needed protective medicines with antioxidant properties, and the compounds found in strawberries could be the answer。

A team of Italian, Serbian and Spanish researchers were studying the mucous membrane, which contains special cells that produce acid and enzymes helping the body to break down. It also excretes mucus, which protects the lining from the acid。

The study found that a diet rich in strawberries can have a beneficial effect when it comes to preventing gastric illnesses that are related to the generation of free radicals or other reactive oxygen species。

Gastritis or inflammation of the stomach mucous membrane is related to alcohol consumption but can also be caused by viral infections or by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (such as aspirin) or medication used to treat against the Helicobacter pylori bacteria。

Maurizio Battino, coordinator of the research group at the Marche Polytechnic University in Italy said: "In these cases, the consumption of strawberries during or after pathology could lessen stomach mucous membrane damage."

The team found less ulcerations in the stomachs of those rats which had eaten strawberry extract (40mg/day per kilo of weight) for 10 days before being given alcohol。

Battino emphasises: "This study was not conceived as a way of mitigating the effects of getting drunk but rather as a way of discovering molecules in the stomach membrane that protect against the damaging effects of differing agents."據英國《每日郵報》10月26日報道,研究人員發現,草莓能夠保護胃粘膜免受酒精的刺激,有利於促進胃潰瘍的治療。

科學家給實驗室小白鼠服用了乙醇,發現那些在此前十天內曾吃過草莓提取物的小白鼠胃粘膜受到的損害比較小。

巴塞羅那大學的研究員薩拉·圖裏帕尼說:“草莓的積極效應不只在於它的抗氧化能力,此外它還能激活抗氧化防禦系統和人體內所含的酶。”

科學家說,豐盛的草莓大餐可以幫助人們預防胃病,減緩胃潰瘍的形成。

科學家說胃潰瘍的治療需要保護性的具有抗氧化性能的藥品,草莓中發現的化合物可能正是好的選擇。

由意大利、塞爾維亞和西班牙的研究人員組成的科研小組正在研究胃粘膜,它含有特殊的細胞,能夠產生酸和酶,幫助人體分解食物中的蛋白質。它還能分泌出粘液,保護胃粘膜本身。

研究發現多吃草莓對於預防胃病有着有利的影響,胃病與自由基或其他活性氧的生成相關。

胃炎或是胃粘膜炎症與酒精的消耗量相關,但也有可能由病毒感染引起,使用非類固醇消炎藥(比如阿司匹林)或者治療幽門螺桿菌的藥物也有可能引發炎症。

來自意大利馬爾凱理工大學的研究小組協調人員馬基里奧·巴提諾說:“在這些案例中,病變時或病變後食用草莓都降低了胃粘膜的受損程度。”

研究小組發現,在服用酒精之前的十天內一直吃草莓提取物(每公斤體重每天40毫克)的小白鼠,胃裏的潰瘍比較少。

巴提諾強調:“這一研究並不能被看作是能夠減輕醉酒影響的方式,而是有助於恢復保護胃粘膜免受不同損傷的分子的途徑。”
