Gastroprotective Efficacy of Coenzyme Q10 in Indomethacin-Induced Gastropathy: Other Potential Mechanisms
Table 1
Effect of 40, 200, and 400 mg/kg coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10-40, -200, and -400; p.o.) as well as 3, 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg pantoprazole (PANTO-3, -10, -20, and -30; p.o.) on ulcer number, ulcer index, and gastric mucosal nitric oxide (NO) content in indomethacin- (INDO-; 20 mg/kg, i.p.) induced gastric injury.

For ulcer number, values are median of 6–9 rats and statistical analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis test (nonparametric ANOVA) followed by Dunn’s Multiple Comparisons Test, . For ulcer index and gastric mucosal NO, values are means ± S.E.M. of 6–9 rats; comparisons were carried out using one-way ANOVA followed by Student-Newman-Keuls Multiple Comparisons Test, . As compared to control (CONT) (*), INDO (@), PANTO-20 (#), PANTO-30 (•), CoQ10-200 (†), and CoQ10-400 (‡). |
