Histological evaluation of rats’ gastric tissues treated with varying doses of folic acid and omeprazole prior pyloric ligation, (H&E, X40). NS (overall control) = Normal mucosa and submucosa. UC (Ulcer control) = Acute inflammation of the mucosa as well as submucosa, with an appearance of cellular debris. 2FA = Mild papillary infolding, mild inflammation of mucosa and submucosa. 3FA = Moderate congestion of the mucosa and submucosa (green arrow), moderate inflammation of submucosa and mild erosion of the surface epithelial. OMEP = Mild congestion (orange arrow), mild infiltration of inflammatory cells and adipocytes into the submucosa
