The parameters considered to assess the anti-ulcer activity were percentage of ulcer, ulcer index, percentage of inhibition, pH, free acidity and total acidity. Pretreatment with the Shark liver oil resulted in a significant decreased of the ulcerated area and reduced pH, free acidity and total acidity.
