Gastroprotective Activity of Violacein Isolated from Chromobacterium violaceum on Indomethacin-Induced Gastric Lesions in Rats: Investigation of Potential Mechanisms of Action
Figure 2
Gastroprotective activity of violacein (40 mg/kg) on indomethacin-induced gastric injury in rats. (a) Sham treated rats, (b) vehicle + indomethacin treated rats, (c) violacein (40 mg/kg) pretreated rats, and (d) omeprazole (40 mg/kg) pretreated rats. Note that indomethacin induced sever injuries to the gastric mucosa that appear as elongated bands of hemorrhage (blue arrow).
