Antioxidant properties of GC-7101 for HCl/EtOH-induced gastric ulcers.

Group	MDA (nmol/mg protein)	GSH/GSSG ratio	SOD (U/g protein)	Catalase (μmol/min/mg protein)
Vehicle-treated control	0.4 ± 0.1	18.7 ± 1.0	97.0 ± 0.1	22.0 ± 2.1
HCl/EtOH
Vehicle	1.4 ± 0.2	12.0 ± 0.7	65.6 ± 0.3	11.9 ± 1.3
GC-7101 50 mg/kg	0.8 ±0.2^+	21.1 ± 3.1^++	102.0 ± 12.8^+	18.9 ± 2.1^+

The values are represented as means ± SEM for eight rats per group. Significantly different (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) from vehicle-treated control group. ^+,++Significantly different (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) from vehicle-treated HCl/EtOH group.
