Figure 3
Effect of the oral administration of the ethanolic extract of the bark of Terminalia fagifolia (TFEE, 250 and 500 mg/kg) or carbenoxolone (250 mg/kg) on gastric ulcers induced by absolute ethanol in the absence (SHAM) or presence of pretreatment with L-nitroarginine-methyl-ester (L-NAME) or indomethacin in rats. Ulceration index as percentage of the area of the corpus of the stomach (data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M.). NS compared to SHAM control group. a compared to the respective control group (ANOVA and Dunnett’s test). b compared to the SHAM group treated with TFEE or carbenoxolone at the same dose (ANOVA and Tukey’s test).
