Figure 3.
MPO activity (a) and percent water weight (b) of the ileum (square, solid line) and colon (triangle, dashed line) after TNBS administration. MPO activity was measured as MPO activity units per mg of protein and showed a delayed biphasic response in the ileum. Water weight was measured as the dry weight of tissue divided by the wet weight of the tissue. Isolated vessel diameter was measured in lymphatic vessels from the ileum at 3cm/H2O pressure (c). n=3 for all measures, bar=se and * denotes p value ≤0.05
