Gastroprotective Value of Berries: Evidences from Methanolic Extracts of Morus nigra and Rubus niveus Fruits

Figure 3

Macroscopic (a) and microscopic (b) representative images of the gastroprotective effects of MEMN and MERN on acidified ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in mice. The mice were orally treated with vehicle (water, 10 mL/kg), carbenoxolone (100 mg/kg), MEMN (300 mg/kg), or MEMN (30–300 mg/kg) 1 hour prior to acidified ethanol administration. The black arrows indicate the site of injury and the dotted black arrows show the glandular damage on the gastric mucosa. Histological section was increased by 100x.
