Number and percentage of a mice with mucosa alterations (macroscopically and histologically) in the different treatment and control groups stratified for observation one day and one week after treatment. (s = seconds, percentage in brackets). Fisher-exact-test: Non-significant p-values are not reported.

a: p<0.001 untreated vs. treatment group.

b: p = 0.017 untreated vs. treatment group.

c: p = 0.021 kINPen09 vs. PS-MWM.
