Table 2 Percentage of ulceration, ulcer index, and preventive index in all the experimental groups

Experimental groups		Ulceration (%)	Ulcer index	Preventive index (%)
Control		0	0	100
Ulcerated group (ethanol, 5 ml/kg body weight)	Vehicle	100	266.40 ± 12.23^a	0
	SOIE₁₀₀	83	73.77 ± 21.03^b	68
	SOIE₂₀₀	50	16.67 ± 8.60^c	93

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). Values with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05). SOIE₁₀₀: Sepia officinalis ink extract (100 mg/kg body weight); SOIE₂₀₀: Sepia officinalis ink extract (200 mg/kg body weight)
