[Effect of mud applications on acetate-induced ulcer in albino rats]

The Republic of Kalmykia possesses a great deal of therapeutical peloids awaiting biomedical investigations. Mud formation in Kalmykia is characterized by an intensive accumulation of sulfide salt. Therapeutical peloids form in the Manych Lake region. An experimental murine model of acetate-induced gastric ulcer was used to evaluate the therapeutical efficacy of Manych mud. There was a statistically significant difference in the rate of ulcer healing between the study and control groups.
