Octreotide ameliorates gastric lesions in chronically mild stressed rats

Figure 3 Effect of octreotide (50 and 90 μg/kg, ip) on gastric mucosal tumor necrosis factor-α (upper panel) and interleukin-10 (lower panel) content in normal rats and those subjected to chronic mild stress, where octreotide was administered 2 h before chronic mild stress exposure. 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; TNF: Tumor necrosis factor; IL: Interleukin.
