    Effects of α-LA on periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive mucus in the gastric mucosa in rats. (A) Representative photomicrographs of corpus and antrum mucosa from control and α-LA-treated rats. Sections

    Effects of α-LA on periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-positive mucus in the gastric mucosa in rats. (A) Representative photomicrographs of corpus and antrum mucosa from control and α-LA-treated rats. Sections were stained using PAS reagent. Original magnification: 33×. (B) Thickness ratio of the mucus gel layer to the lamina propria mucosae in corpus and antrum mucosa. Values represent mean±SEM for 6 rats. *P<0.05, compared with the control.
