Gastroprotective Effects of Plants Extracts on Gastric Mucosal Injury in Experimental Sprague-Dawley Rats

Figure 3

Inhibitory effect of combined plant extracts on HCl-EtOH-induced gastritis. (a) HCl-EtOH, (b) Cimetidine (100 mg/kg), (c) RF combined UL (75+75 mg/kg), (d) RF combined GJ (75+75 mg/kg); (e) RF combined UL and GJ (50+50+50 mg/kg), and (f) RF combined UL and GJ (75+25+50 mg/kg). n=7 for each group. Gastric index was determined using UTHSCSA Image Tool 3.00. Each value represents the mean ±SEM. p<0.05, p<0.01 vs. control rat. % inhibition of gastritis formation of the combined samples was determined.
