This study aimed to explore the protective effect of Gastrodia elata (GE) in an HCl/ethanol induced acute gastritis model by differing the steaming time. The samples GE1 (GE by steaming for 1 time) and GE9 (GE by steaming for 9 times), were selected based on the results of HPLC analysis, free radical scavenging activities, and total phenol and flavonoid contents. To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GE, ICR mice were divided into 5 groups; normal mice (Nor), gastritic mice with distilled water (Con), gastritic mice with 100 mg/kg GE1, gastritic mice with 100 mg/kg GE9 and gastritic mice with 10 mg/kg sucralfate (SC). HCl/ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury was markedly improved by GE9 treatment as observed during histological evaluation. The increased reactive oxygen species levels in the serum were diminished by GE9 treatment. Furthermore, peroxynitrite levels of the stomach tissue were decreased in the GE9-treated group. The analyses of stomach proteins indicated that GE9 treatment effectively reduced inflammatory cytokine levels as compared to that by GE1 treatment. These results suggest that GE9 improves health during acute gastritis.
