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

Figure 2

Effect of crude extract of C. macrostachyus on the acidified ethanol-induced ulcer model in mice. a = NC, b = CM100, c = CM200, d = CM400, and e = OM30. In this figure, a spot ulcer and many 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 doses (b-c, d), it showed that significant ulcer formations were not observed as compared to the negative control.
