Protective effective of 200 mg/kg body weight dose of aqueous curry leaf extract in piroxicam-fed rat stomach. (A) The photomicrographs of picro-sirius red stained sections. (B) Representative figures of confocal images of picro-sirius red stained sections. (C) The bar graph showing changes in gastric tissue collagen volume. (D) The representative figure for determining pro-MMP 9 activity through gelatin zymography. (E) The bar graph representing arbitrary activity values of pro-MMP 9. All values in (C) and (E) are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. where *P ≤ 0.001 vs. control, **P ≤ 0.001 vs. piroxicam treated animals (one-way ANOVA followed by Scheffe’ multiple comparison test).
