Results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). Range was provided by Duncan multiple-range test at P < .05. Different letters a–d in the column represent values that are significantly different when ulcer induced group was compared with healthy control and sample treated groups. aless significant; bless or not significant; cmoderately significant and dvery significant.
