Table 1.

Synoptic presentation of percent changes of tissue-related inflammatory parameters in DNBS-rats treated with YVAD, anakinra, INF39 or DEX against values estimated in animals with colitis.

	Colon length	Macroscopic damage score	Microscopic damage score	MPO	TNF	IL-1β
YVAD	+ 7.6	−38.1	−37.7	−61.5	+18.5	−32.4
Anakinra	+ 20.1	−55.1	−50.9	−66.7	+ 4.5	−12.6
INF39	+ 22.1	−62.8	−67.8	−83.4	−50.5	−65.5
DEX	+ 18.4	−71.8	−73.5	−90.1	−57.4	−76.3

DEX, Dexamethasone; DNBS, 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonic acid; TNF_, tumor necrosis factor; IL-lβ, interleukin-l beta; MPO:myeloperoxidase.
