From: The role of apelin in the healing of water-immersion and restraint stress-induced gastric damage
Gastric lesion index in stressed rats treated with and without F13A (150 µg/kg b.w., i.v.) during gastric lesion healing on the 1st, 3rd, 5th or 10th day after the end of stress induction. a Representative macroscopic appearance of gastric tissues of the experimental rats. b Lesion index. Data are presented as box plots showing the range, quartiles (25–75 %) and median. **p < 0.01 vs. the control group, # p < 0.05 vs. the WIRS 5 day group, & p < 0.05 vs. the WIRS 10 day group (n = 6 rats/group)
