Inflammation of the oral mucosa is a common complication of anticancer therapy, and oxidative stress underlies this condition. Unfortunately, an effective preventive or therapeutic agent has not been found so far.The study aimed to evaluate whether administration of obestatin after inducing ulcers in the mucous membrane of the gingiva and tongue affects the healing process of these lesions. The following parameters were monitored in the examined tissues\: interleukin\-1β \(IL\-1β\) concentration, myeloperoxidase \(MPO\) activity, superoxide dismutase \(SOD\) activity, malondialdehyde \(MDA\) concentration, and blood flow. Damage to the mucous membrane of the tongue and gingiva was induced using acetic acid. For the next 6 days, the animals received normal saline or obestatin twice daily at doses of 4, 8, or 16 nmol\/g. Animals that did not have ulcers underwent a sham operation and then received normal saline or obestatin at a dose of 8 nmol\/kg for 6 days. Measurements were performed for 6 consecutive days after ulcer induction. The effect of accelerating ulcer healing reached statistical significance for all doses of obestatin, but doses of 8 and 16 nmol\/kg produced a significantly stronger effect.Therapeutic effects w"]
