Effect of β-PAE on gastric levels of SOD (Aa), GSH (Ab), CAT (Ac), MDA (Ad) and serum levels of TNF-α (Ba), IL-1β (Bb) and IL-6 (Bc) in rats with ethanol-induced gastric injury (n = 6). Rats were intragastrically administered lansoprazole (30 mg/kg), PA (20 mg/kg) or β-PAE (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) prior to intragastric administration of ethanol. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD and were analysed by ANOVA followed by LSD test. **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05 versus the vehicle group. Student’s t-test was performed to compare the intact and vehicle group, ## P < 0.01.
