Effects of oral administration of C. conglomeratus alcoholic extract on blood Galactin-3 (ng/mL) and TNF-α (Pg/mL) levels in ethanol-induced gastric ulcer in rats.
| Parameters | Galactin-3 (ng/mL) | TNF-α Pg/mL | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groups | Mean ± S.E | % Change | Mean ± S.E | % Change |
| Control | 1.7 ± 0.14 | 0 | 30.61 ± 1.07 | 0 |
| Ethanol (1 mL) | 11.10 ± 0.85 a | +85 a | 212.71 ± 3.71 a | +85 a |
| Ranitidine + Ethanol | 2.06 ± 0.13 a b | −81.4 b | 44.25 ± 1.77 a,b | −79 b |
| Ex (25 mg) + Ethanol | 11.01 ± 0.46 a | −0.8 b | 183.15 ± 5.93 a,b | −13.9 b |
| Ex (50 mg) + Ethanol | 7.75 ± 0.29 a b | −30.4 b | 148.83 ± 5.75 a,b | −30 b |
| Ex (100 mg) + Ethanol | 5.63 ± 0.37 a b | −97.1 b | 128.98 ± 6.07 a,b | −39 b |
All data presented as means ± standard error, a significantly different at p < 0.05 and % of change as compared with the control group, b significantly different at p < 0.05 and % of change as compared with ulcer group.
