The protective effect of KACH and CB mixtures on gastric damage in INDO-induced rats. (A) Schematic diagram of the second animal experiment. (B) Visual inspection of gastric lesions in experimental groups. Damaged area (%) of gastric mucosa was determined using ImageJ software. (C) For histopathological inspection, H&E-stained gastric mucosal sections were observed under an Olympus BX53 microscope (original magnification × 100). The pathological score for haemorrhage and erosion was randomly quantified on an H&E-stained section from each experimental group (n = 8). Results are presented as mean ± SD of eight independent experiments. ### p < 0.001 vs. the CON group; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. the INDO group. CON, control group; INDO, indomethacin-induced rats (80 mg/kg, p.o.); STI, INDO-induced rats with Stillen® (100 mg/kg, p.o.); CH, INDO-induced rats with chestnut honey (1.5 g/kg, p.o.); KACH, INDO-induced rats with kynurenic acid increased CH (1.5 g/kg, p.o.); CB, INDO-induced rats with cabbage (13.5 g/kg, p.o.); CH + CB, INDO-induced rats with mixture of CH and CB (15 g/kg, p.o.); KACH + CB, INDO-induced rats with mixture of KACH and CB (15 g/kg, p.o.); KA, INDO-induced rats with kynurenic acid (1.5 mg/kg, p.o.).
