Gastroprotective and ulcer healing effects of essential oil of Hyptis martiusii Benth. (Lamiaceae).
Hyptis martiusii Benth. is an aromatic plant found in abundance in northeastern Brazil that is used in ethnomedicine to treat gastric disorders. The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms of action involved in the gastroprotection of the essential oil of Hyptis martiusii (EOHM) and to eva...
