The viscera index of the stomach and the gross appearance of gastric mucosa in Wistar rats. Wistar rats were pre-treated as described in Table 1. After the pre-treatment, gastric mucosal injury was induced by the oral administration of ethanol. One hour after the ethanol challenge, the rats were sacrificed. The stomach was opened along the greater curvature and washed in ice-cold normal saline, followed by macroscopic observation. The stomach was weighted to measure (A) viscera index, while typical appearances of gastric mucosa in different groups: (B) Control, (C) Model, (D) Sucralfate, (E) BCM, (F) L-Se, (G) M-Se and (H) H-Se, were recorded. Severe hemorrhages (arrow) were found in Model group. # P < 0.05, versus Control.
