Gastroprotective Value of Berries: Evidences from Methanolic Extracts of Morus nigra and Rubus niveus Fruits

Figure 4

Effects of MEMN and MERN on histochemistry staining for mucin-like glycoproteins in the acidified ethanol-ulcerated gastric mucosa. (a) Representative images from groups treated with vehicle (water, 10 mL/kg), carbenoxolone (100 mg/kg), MEMN (300 mg/kg), or MERN (30–300 mg/kg). (b) Quantification of mucin staining with results expressed as mean ± SEM (). Statistical comparison was performed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Bonferroni’s test. and versus vehicle group. The arrows indicate the mucin-positive staining by 400x of magnification.
