Figure 6From: Anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective and anti-ulcerogenic effects of red algae Gracilaria changii (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) extract Effects of MeOHGCM6 extract treatment on the gastric lesions following EtOH-induced acute gastric mucosal injury. Rats were fed with the different concentrations of MeOHGCM6 extract 30Â minutes prior to feeding with 1Â ml absolute EtOH. Rats were sacrificed an hour later and the stomach was rapidly removed and incised along the greater curvature. (A) Diluent. (B) NSPE. (C) OMP. (D) 2.5Â mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (E) 5Â mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (F) 250Â mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (G) 500Â mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. The untreated control stomachs showed extensive EtOH-induced mucosal necrotic lesions mostly in the corpus (arrows). Cells were photographed using a Nikon D70 camera. One archetypal set of photographs are shown.Back to article page
