Areas and numbers of ulcers and erosions. (a) The mean number ± SD of ulcers was /rat in the indomethacin control group, zero in the GSPE low-dose group, and /rat in the GSPE high-dose group ( value ). The number of erosions was not significantly different among the treatment groups. (b) The mean area ± SD of mucosal defects was  mm2/rat in the indomethacin control group,  mm2/rat in the GSPE low-dose group, and  mm2/rat in the GSPE high-dose group.
