Mucosal and submucosal thickness of different groups.
Control group | DSS group | DSS+ AuNPs group | |
---|---|---|---|
Mucosal thickness (µm) | 363.3 ± 13.58 | 151.3 ± 14.93∗∗a | 344.79 ± 14.84∗∗b |
Submucosal thickness (µm) | 38.44 ± 1.9 | 121.17 ± 11.53∗∗a | 40.21 ± 3.03∗∗b |
Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of means (SEM) of n = 8 animals. aP compared with control group. bP compared with DSS group. ∗Significant difference (P < 0.05). ∗∗Highly significant difference (P < 0.001).
