Gastroprotective activity of ALI in an ethanol-induced gastric ulcer model in mice. (a) Percentage of gastroprotection in the different treatment groups. Each column represents the mean ± SEM (n = 7 animals). An ANOVA was performed followed by Dunnet’s test. (b) Representative images of mice stomachs from three treatment groups. Macroscopic views of fresh dissected stomachs treated with VEH (upper panel), CAR (central panel) or ALI-300 (lower panel). Differences in hemorrhagic streaks can be observed. VEH, isotonic saline solution; CAR, carbenoxolone 50 mg/kg; ALI-300, Artemisia ludoviciana aqueous extract 300 mg/kg. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, significant difference vs. CAR. n.s, no significant difference vs. CAR.
