Figure 2
Gross evaluation of stomachs from various animal groups. Results showed that rats pretreated with α-mangostin (AM) at doses of 10 and 30 mg/kg ((d) and (e), resp.) and omeprazole ((c); 20 mg/kg) had considerably reduced areas of gastric ulcer formation compared to rats pretreated with only Tween80 (ulcer control group, (a)) (magnification: 1.8x).
