Effects of MHAE on pH, mucus, ulcer areas, and % inhibition

Animal’s group	Pretreatment	pH of stomach	Mucus weight (g)	Ulcer areas (mm)2	Inhibition of ulcer areas (%)
1	10% Tween 20	4.61±0.03	3.12±0.86	–	–
2	Absolute ethanol (5 mL/kg)	1.68±0.73	1.08±1.33	755.17±12.86	–
3	Omeprazole (20 mg/kg)	6.81±1.35*	5.46±1.38*	185.52±6.51*	75.43
4	MHAE 150 mg	4.63±0.64*	4.59±0.65*	295.05±9.25*	60.93
5	MHAE 300 mg	5.11±0.87*	5.11±0.82*	215.13±7.38*	71.51

Notes: All data are expressed as the mean ± SEM.

^*P<0.05 was considered significantly different. All values were compared with the ulcer control group.

Abbreviations: MHAE, hydroalcoholic extract of Monolluma quadrangula; SEM, standard error of the mean.
