Ajwa Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Juice for the Reduction of Gastric Damage on Wistar Rats
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Ajwa date juice on the gastric damage of Wistar rats.
This study was an experimental laboratory study with a posttest only control group design. Wistar rats
were divided into five groups with five rats in each group (K, K+, P1, P2, and P3). The K group was
given aspirin and no Ajwa date juice, K+ was given aspirin, while P1, P2, P3 were given aspirin and
Ajwa date juice with concentrations of 20%, 40%, and 60%, respectively, for fourteen days. Gastric
damage was viewed by microscope magnification of 400x and data was analyzed by the Kruskal Wallis
and Post-Hoc Mann Whitney U test. The results showed that Ajwa date juice had a significant effect
on reducing gastric damage with p=0.001. Ajwa date juice with a concentration of 60% was the most
effective in reducing gastric damage in Wistar rats.
