Effect of β-sitosterol on development of ACF induced by DMH

	ACF formation in rat colon

Groups	Total no. of ACF	No. of AC	Crypt multiplicity (AC/ACF)	% of ACF inhibition
DMH	52 ± 5.23^a	151 ± 12.31^a	2.9 ± 0.31^a	-
DMH + β-sitosterol (5 mg/Kg)	47 ± 4.68^a	126 ± 10.36^b	2.6 ± 0.25^b	38.2
DMH + β-sitosterol (10 mg/Kg)	38 ± 4.12^b	92 ± 10.21^c	2.4 ± 0.18^c	52.8
DMH + β-sitosterol (20 mg/Kg)	29 ± 3.14^c	54 ± 8.94^d	1.8 ± 0.16^d	73.6

Each value is mean ± SD for 6 replicates in each group. Values carrying different letters in a row differ significantly at p < 0.05 by DMRT.
