Octreotide ameliorates gastric lesions in chronically mild stressed rats

Figure 2 Effect of octreotide (50 and 90 μg/kg, ip) given 2 h prior to chronic mild stress exposure on mucosal malondialdehyde content (upper panel) and total antioxidant capacity (lower panel) in normal rats and those subjected to chronic mild stress. Values are mean ± SE, n = 6-8 each. ^a,bP < 0.05 vs control and chronic mild stress (CMS), respectively, using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer Multiple Comparisons Test. OCT: Octreotide; MDA: Malondialdehyde content; TAC: Total antioxidant capacity.
