- Data are expressed as Mean ± S.D. for six animals in each group. Units: volume of gastric juice (ml 100 g−1 4 h−1); free acidity (mEq L−1100 g−1); total acidity (mEq−1 L 100 g−1); acid output (mEq 100 g−1 4 h−1); pepsin activity (μmol tyrosine liberated mL−1). Statistical significance: *p < 0.05; NS, not significant. a: Group II compared with Group I. b: Groups III and IV compared with Group II. c: Group V compared with Group I
