Antichronic Gastric Ulcer Effect of Zinc-Baicalin Complex on the Acetic Acid-Induced Chronic Gastric Ulcer Rat Model

Figure 3

Photomicrographs of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers from different groups: (a) sham group, (b) HE staining of the model group induced by acetic acid, (c–e) HE staining of the BA-Zn group induced by acetic acid and treated daily with BA-Zn (3.25, 6.5, and 13 mg/kg, p.o.), (f) HE staining of the BA group induced by acetic acid and treated daily with BA (4.6 mg/kg, p.o.), (g) HE staining of the zinc-gluconate group induced by acetic acid and treated daily with zinc-gluconate (9.32 mg/kg, p.o.), and (h) HE staining of the omeprazole group induced by acetic acid and treated daily with omeprazole (4.0 mg/kg, p.o.). The HE stained slides were visualized under a bright field microscope with 20x magnification.
