Table 3.

Number of goblet cells, area percentage of collagen fibers and area percentage of positive anti- IL-17A immune reactions in different groups.

	Control group	DSS group	DSS+ AuNPs group
Goblet cells	420.67 ± 41.87	121.17 ± 11.53^∗∗a	290 ± 33.56^∗∗b
Collagen fibers (%)	10.77 ± 0.15	26.48 ± 0.93^∗∗a	12.50 ± 0.22^∗b
Anti-IL-17A (%)	4.43 ± 0.33	36.17 ± 1.14^∗∗a	7.47 ± 0.75^∗∗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).
