Figure 2

Representative photographs (a) and gastric mucosal injury index (b) of gastric mucosa with absolute-ethanol-induced gastric injuries. Gastric mucosal injury index (b) determined the findings of representative photographs using an image analyzer. NC: normal control group; EtOH: ethanol-induced group; Ome: EtOH + omeprazole (50 mg/kg)-treated group; OSWE-100: EtOH + OSWE (100 mg/kg)-treated group; OSWE-200: EtOH + OSWE (200 mg/kg)-treated group. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of seven rats. Significant differences at ###P < 0.001 compared with the control group. Significant differences at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 compared with the EtOH group.
