Evaluation of Antiulcer Activity of 80% Methanol Extract and Solvent Fractions of the Root of Croton macrostachyus Hocsht: Ex Del. (Euphorbiaceae) in Rodents

Figure 1

Effect of crude extract of C. macrostachyus on the pylorus ligation-induced ulcer model in rats. a = NC, b = CM100, c = CM200, d = CM400, e = OM30. In this figure, we can see that deep ulcer and hemorrhagic streaks were observed in the negative control (a) and some hemorrhagic streaks and minor spots were also observed in the lower dose of the extract (b). As we go in advance from lower dose to higher (b-c, d), it showed that significant ulcer formations were not observed.
