Re, Rsub and Rt of sigmoid colon of controls and mild to moderately inflamed Crohn's disease or Crohn's disease in remission, respectively. All values are means (SEM).
*p<0.01 versus control.
†Not significant versus control.
CD, Crohn's disease ; Re, epithelial resistance; Rsub, subepithelial resistance; Rt, total tissue resistance.
