Effect of germinated brown rice and synbiotics on (a) p53, (b) Bax, (c) Bcl‐2, (d) Bax/Bcl‐2 ratio, and (e) caspase‐3 expression of colonic mucosa in male F344 rats. The bars represent mean ± SD. All rats except group B were administered with DMH/DSS. B and D, AIN‐93G diet; G, AIN‐93G containing 10% germinated brown rice; GA, AIN‐93G containing 10% GBR + 5 × 10⁷ c.f.u./g L. acidophilus; GB, AIN‐93G containing 10% GBR + 5 × 10⁷ c.f.u./g B. animalis subsp. lactis; GAB, AIN‐93G containing 10% GBR + 2.5 × 10⁷ c.f.u./g L. acidophilus + 2.5×10⁷ c.f.u./g B. animalis subsp. lactis
