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 30 minutes prior to feeding with 1 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) 2.5 mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (E) 5 mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (F) 250 mg/kg b.w. MeOHGCM6. (G) 500 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.
