TFE protects against AG. (a) Pathologic changes of the gastric mucosa. AG rats were treated with vitacoenzyme (0.35 g/kg/day i.g.) or TFE (0.15 g/kg/day i.g. or 0.6 g/kg/day i.g.) for 30 days. Gastric tissues were fixed, sectioned, and detected by hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining (original magnification: 100×). (b) The statistical analysis of the thickness of lamina propria of rat gastric mucosa in body and pylorus. (c) The statistical analysis of the thickness of muscularis mucosae of rat gastric mucosa in body and pylorus. The thickness was measured by using image analysis software package Image-Pro Plus 6.0. vs. normal; , vs. model. One-way ANOVA, post hoc comparisons, Tukey’s test. Columns, means; bars, SEs.
