Effects of BM (BM; 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg bw) and omeprazole (OMP; 20 mg/kg bw) on (A) gastric mucosal PGE2 levels and (B) alcian blue binding to free gastric mucus against ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in rat.

Notes: The rats of the ulcer control showed marked (P<0.05) lower gastric mucosal levels of PGE2 and alcian blue binding to free gastric mucus. The gastric mucosal levels of PGE2 and alcian blue binding to free gastric mucus were significantly (P<0.05) higher in the pretreated rats with BM than that of ulcer group. Each column represents data as mean ± SEM (n=6), *P<0.05; significant vs ulcer control. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test for multiple comparisons.

Abbreviations: ANOVA, analysis of variance; BM, β-mangostin; OMP, omeprazole; PGE2, prostaglandin E2; SEM, standard error of the mean; bw, body weight.
