Once H.pylori has been controlled or eliminated, gastrointestinal function will return to normal by itself and will restore stomach epithelium naturally. Studies demonstrating the efficacy of mastic gum against H.pylori used doses from one to two grams a day. Even if H.pylori is not suspected...
H.pylori.In this study,we examined which component of mastic gum was responsible for anti-H.pylori activity.We prepared the essential oil of mastic gum and identified 20 constituents by GC鈥揗S analysis.Ten standard components were assayed for anti-H.pylori activity,and it clarified that a-...
Then, the essential oil of mastic gum was added to lab prepared ice cream inoculated with H. pylori isolate in a count of Log6 using 2 concentrations of 0.8 and 1.6% and one group was kept as a control group. Each group was subdivided into 2 sub-groups; one was kept at -5°C and...
but not in every case. Previous studies have shown that mastic gum is also useful in healing existing peptic ulcers in humans, although this was studied before H. pylori was discovered. Later studies investigated whether
Mastic resin at a dosage of 1 g daily has been studied for the treatment of duodenal ulcer. Various commercial products are available to help eliminate H. pylori bacterium in the stomach (implicated in a number of GI complaints), including Mastika, which contains mastic gum 250 mg in capsule...
However, mastic gum inhibited cellular production of superoxide and H2O2 in dose dependent manner in TNF-α treated rat aortic smooth muscle cells but did not affect unstimulated cells. TNF-α significantly increased the cellular superoxide production by NADPH oxidase, while mastic gum completely ...
It was found that mastic has specific antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori [13]. In the field of drug delivery system, gum mastic has been evaluated for its application in the enteric coating [14], film coating [15], matrix system [16], stability improvement [17], [18] and ...

The influence of sub-MBCs of mastic gum on the morphologies of H. pylori was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. The lentiscus resin induced blebbing, morphological abnormalities and cellular fragmentation in H. pylori cells.doi:10.1179/joc.2001.13.6.611P. Marone...
