Immunohistochemical expression of Bax in the gastric mucosa (20x). The negative control group (a); the extract control group (b); the ulcer control group (c); the reference control group (d); the experimental groups pretreated with 62.5, 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg ((e), (f), (g), and (h) resp.). Immunohistochemical analysis of Bax protein showed downexpression of Bax protein in rats pretreated with M. pruriens extract ((b) and (e)–(h)).
