People who suffer from stomach ulcers should consider tucking into a pint of fresh strawberries, particularly if the inflammation is related to excessive alcohol consumption, suggests a new study.
The new research, published in the journal PLoS One (Public Library of Science) and announced Tuesday, found that the powerful antioxidant properties of strawberries can act as a protective barrier to stomach ulcers.
In their study, a team of scientists from Italy, Serbia and Spain put a group of rats on a diet that included strawberry extracts for 10 days, before inducing gastric damage by giving the animals ethanol.
Rats that ate strawberry extract were found to have less ulcerations by about 40 mg/day per kilo of weight, compared to those that didn't.
Not only did the strawberries' antioxidant capacity help strengthen the stomach lining, but they were also found to activate the body's own defenses and enzymes, researchers said. Eating strawberries can also help alleviate damage either before or after the onset of inflammation.
The new findings could pave the way for new protective ulcer treatments.
Ulcers can be caused by alcohol consumption, viral infections or medications like aspirin.
Researchers pointed out, however, that their study was not conceived to mitigate the effects of getting drunk, but to discover new ways of protecting the stomach against damage.
Previous studies have also shown that strawberries can strengthen red blood cells' response to oxidative stress, which is often a precursor to cancer and other chronic diseases.

患胃溃疡的人应考虑每天进食500g新鲜的草莓，特别是如果炎症是过量饮酒有关，提出一项新的研究。
，刊登在公共科学图书馆期刊（科学公共图书馆）周二宣布，这项新的研究发现，草莓的强大的抗氧化性能，可以作为一个保护屏障，防胃溃疡。
在他们的研究中，一队来自意大利，塞尔维亚和西班牙的科学家把一组大鼠的饮食，包括10天的草莓提取物，之前给予动物乙醇诱导的胃损伤。
大鼠吃草莓提取物中发现有少了约40毫克/每公斤体重每天溃疡，相比那些没有。
研究人员说，不仅草莓的抗氧化能力，帮助加强胃壁，但他们还发现，激活人体自身的防御和酶。吃草莓，还可以帮助减轻炎症发病之前或之后的损害。
这些新发现可能为新的保护性溃疡的治疗方法。
饮酒，病毒感染或药物如阿司匹林可引起溃疡。
研究人员指出，但是，他们的研究是不能以减轻醉酒的影响设想，但发现保护胃免受损害的新途径。
以往的研究也表明，草莓可以加强红血细胞氧化应激反应，这往往是癌症和其他慢性疾病的前兆。
