Effects of EER on gastric secretion, acidity and gastric lesion index in pylorus-ligated shay rats (mean ± SE)

Group serial	Treatment	Dose (mg/kg, i.g.)	Volume of gastric content (mL)	Titratable acidity (mEq/L)	Ulcer index
1	Control (distilled water)	-	10.83 ± 1.16	196.57 ± 15.50	2.33 ± 1.50
2	EER	250	6.33 ± 1.63a	132.77 ± 17.43a	0.66 ± 0.51a
3	EER	500	4.16 ± 1.16b	55.55 ± 10.46d	0.50 ± 0.54a

Six rats were used in each group.

^aP < 0.05,

^bP < 0.01,

^dP < 0.001 vs control (distilled water) group, Student’s t-test.
