Table I.
Hsp70 genotype | Treatment | Mean ± SD (cm) |
WT | Saline | 10.2 ± 1.2 |
WT | AOM/DSS | 10.1 ± 0.6 |
Hsp70 KO | Saline | 9.9 ± 0.5 |
Hsp70 KO | AOM/DSS | 8.6 ± 0.4a |
Colon length was measured from distal cecum to rectum. n = 5 animals in each group.
P = 0.04, compared with control (saline treated) Hsp70 KO mice (Student’s t-test). Colon lengths of saline- and AOM/DSS-treated Hsp70 WT mice were not different.
