Fig. 1. Mass indexes of gastric, caecal chyme, and spleen in rats 72 hours after intravenous administration of cyclophosphamide (M ± m; n= 8). Intact — rats that received no medicines; CP — rats that received only cyclophosphamide; NaHCO3 + CP + NaHCO3 — intragastric administration of 0.48 M of sodium bicarbonate 30 minutes before and immediately after cyclophosphamide; HCl + CP + HCl — intragastric administration of 0.1 M of hydrochloric acid 30 minutes before and immediately after cyclophosphamide. Significant difference, p < 0.05: * — with intact group; † — with the CP group
