Potential protective effects of Clostridium butyricum on experimental gastric ulcers in mice

Figure 6 Effect of Clostridium butyricum on 6-keto-PGF-1α in the gastric mucosa of mice with gastric ulcers induced by alcohol, cold stress or pylorus ligation. Gastric ulcer models were induced by alcohol (A), cold stress (B) or pylorus ligation (C), respectively. The content of 6-keto-PGF-1α in gastric tissue of different gastric ulcers (GU) mice was measured. For each GU model, there were four different groups: Sham control group (1), Model group (without pretreatment) (2), Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) pretreatment group (3) and Omeprazole pretreatment group (4). The data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). ^aP < 0.01 vs Model (without pretreatment) group; ^cP < 0.01 vs Sham control group.
