Photos from the pathology slides showing the effect of administration of OLE or OLR to gastric mucosa ulcers in rats
There is severe disruption of the gastric mucosa, necrotic lesions penetrating deeply into the mucosa, and neutrophil infiltration in ulcer rats as compared to the gastric mucosa of normal rats (H&E stain,400X). U+800 mg BRE from pulp and U+800 mg BRE from peel: stomach histological section of rat treated with pulp BRE at dose of 800 mg/kg bw: the gastric wall appears normally, but there are a few small lesions in gastric mucosa. Stomach histological section of the rat treated with OmepZ at dose of 30 mg/kg bw: mild disruption to the submucosal layer
OLE: Oleaster leaf extract; OLR: Oleuropein; OMP: Omeprazole
