Figure 2

Microscopic observations (3X) of water-immersion restraint stress (WIRS) induced gastric lesions. A: Gastric tissue of normal rat (no lesions). B: Gastric tissue of a rat exposed to 3.5 h of WIRS (Developed gastric ulcer as shown by the arrow). C: Gastric tissue of a rat exposed to 3.5 h of WIRS plus palm vitamin E (PVE) (Developed petichae hemorrhage as shown by the arrows). D: Gastric tissue of a rat exposed to 3.5 h of WIRS plus α-tocopherol (α-TF) (Developed petichial hemorrhage as shown by the arrows).
