Figure 8

Effect of L-NAME (NOS inhibitor) and violacein (40 mg/kg, orally) on cNOS, tNOS, and iNOS levels in indomethacin-induced ulcerated rats. Values are mean ± SD (n = 6). compare vehicle + Indo with all the groups; compare Vio (40 mg) + Indo with L-NAME + Vio (40 mg) + Indo. Indo: indomethacin; Vio: violacein; L-NAME: N-G- nitro- L-arginine methyl ester.
