Effects of AMT-E (1, 10, and 20 mg/kg p.o.) on colonic length in dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-treated mice.

Treatments (n = 12)	Sham a	DSS b	AMT-E c (1 mg/kg)	AMT-E c (10 mg/kg)	AMT-E c (20 mg/kg)
Colonic length (cm)	7.93 ± 0.16	6.02 ± 0.12 +++	6.19 ± 0.10	7.00 ± 0.14	7.03 ± 0.16 **

^a Sham group, receiving vehicle; ^b Group treated with DSS (3%) in drinking water, for 7 consecutive days; ^c Treated with DSS (3%) in drinking water and with AMT-E (1, 10, or 20 mg/kg, p.o.), for 7 consecutive days. Data are means ± S.E.M and were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test for comparison between groups. ⁺⁺⁺ p < 0.001 vs. Sham group; ** p < 0.01 vs. DSS group.
