Reversing gastric mucosal alterations during ethanol-induced chronic gastritis in rats by oral administration of Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage

Figure 4 Activity of 5’-nucleotidase and its relation with the cholesterol/ phospholipid ratio in plasma membranes of mucilage-treated rats with gastritis. Left panel represents the mean ± SE of five individual observations per experimental group for 5’-nucleotidase activity. The correlation between activity of this enzyme and the PC/PE ratio or the cholesterol (chol)/phospholipid (phos) ratio is shown in the right panel of Figure 2. Statistical significance is indicated in the left panel of Figure 2.
