Figure 4

Effect of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitors and violacein (40 mg/kg, orally) on MPO level in indomethacin-induced ulcer. Values are mean ± SD ( ). compare vehicle + Indo with all the groups; compare Vio (40 mg) + Indo with SC560 (or) Celecoxib + Vio (40 mg) + Indo. Indo: indomethacin; Vio: violacein; MPO: myeloperoxidase.
