Group	Treatment	Ulcer severity
I	Control (0.5% SCMC) + PL	2.10±0.2473
II	Asprin (200 mg/kg) + PL	5.40±0.6680^a**
III	Suspension of EEMT (200 mg/kg) + PL	1.64±0.1567^b**
IV	Suspension of EEMT (400 mg/kg) + PL	1.42±0.1467^b**
V	Standard–ranitidine (50 mg/kg) + PL	0.92±0.3073^b**

The values are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 animals.
Comparisons were made between ^agroup I with group II and ^bgroup II with III, IV and V.
Statistical significant test for comparison was done by ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s 𝑡-test, 𝑛=6 rats. **𝑃<0.01.
