Effects of STEA treatment on the cell cycle of intestinal epithelial cells. The preventive (A) and therapeutic (B) effects of STEA administration on the cell cycle of intestinal epithelial cells from rats with TNBS-induced colitis were investigated. Colitis induction, administration of STEA, and isolation of the intestinal epithelial cells were performed as described in the experiment methods. The cell cycle was analyzed using a fluorescence cell counter. Results are means ± SD. *p < 0.05 vs TNBS-treated rats; ^p < 0.05 vs control rats.
