Figure 1
Gastric ulcer index (a) and macroscopic finding of gastric mucosal lesions (b) in rats exposed to ethanol-induced gastric ulcer and treated with S. persica extract. EtOH: ethanol-induced gastric ulcer; EtOH + SP200: ethanol-gastric ulcer treated with S. persica extract 200 mg/kg b.w.; EtOH + SP400: ethanol-gastric ulcer treated with S. persica extract 400 mg/kg b.w. Data are expressed as mean ± SE (), and the statistical analysis was done with one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc test multiple comparisons. versus control, versus EtOH, and versus EtOH + SP400.
