Effect of the CNBP on the histology of gastric epithelium in ethanol-provoked gastric mucosal damage in rats (n = 6). a Normal control rats. b Ulcer control stomach presenting severe mucosal injury (yellow arrow) along with deep necrosis (blue arrow), edema and inflammation of submucosal layer (black arrow). c Reference control stomach (omeprazole, 20 mg/kg) presenting mild mucosal injury. d & e experimental animals’ stomachs pre-fed with CNBP showing reduced mucosal damage, while the high dose of CNBP (e) showing better gastroprotective effect than the low dose (d)
