Effect of royal jelly on the disease activity index of mice undergoing TNBS-induced colitis.
| Group | Macroscopic assessment | Adhesion | Diarrhea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Noncolitic (saline) | 0 ± 0b | 0 ± 0b | 0 ± 0b |
| Colitic (TNBS) | 4.5 ± 0.42 | 1.5 ± 0.54 | 0.71 ± 0.48 |
| RJ 100 mg/kg | 2.56 ± 0.29a | 0.44 ± 0.72a | 0.67 ± 0.5 |
| RJ 150 mg/kg | 2.67 ± 0.236a | 0.625 ± 0.91 | 0.62 ± 0.51 |
| RJ 200 mg/kg | 3.88 ± 0.515 | 1.38 ± 0.91 | 0.750 ± 0.46 |
Results are presented as mean ± SEM. ANOVA followed by Dunnett's t-test. a P < 0.05 and b P < 0.001 are significantly different from colitic nontreated group.
