Figure 5.
Effect of pretreatment with indomethacin on the gastroprotection of irsogladine maleate (IM) in mice subjected to ethanol/ydrochloric acid (HCl)-induced gastric ulceration. Mice were pretreated with IM (10 mg/kg), indomethacin (10 mg/kg), misoprostol (100 mg/kg, orally) or combination of indomethacin and misoprostol or IM. Sixty minutes after, gastric mucosal lesions were induced with ethanol/HCl (20 mL, orally) in all groups. Each value represents the mean ± SD of the percentage of ulcerated gastric area (n = 6/group).
