Macroscopic and microscopic damage scores estimated for ileal and colonic specimens 6 days after induction of colitis with DNBS

	Ileum		Colon
	Vehicle	DNBS	Vehicle	DNBS
Macroscopic damage	0.45±0.09	0.52±0.15	1.85±0.32	10.92±1.71*
Microscopic damage	0.22±0.05	0.27±0.06	1.27±0.23	8.16±1.44*

Each value represents the mean of eight to ten experiments ± s.e.m.

^*Significant difference from the respective values obtained from vehicle-treated rats: P<0.05.
