Treatment with pomegranate extract reduced lymphocyte infiltration into intestinal tissue of G. lamblia-infected rats. Number of animals with mild, moderate, or marked lymphocyte infiltration are shown including their percentages of total number of animals/group (n = 8). Pomegranate, similar to metronidazole (positive control), significantly reduced lymphocyte infiltration compared to infected untreated animals; p = 0.005.

Animal Group	Lymphocytic Infiltration			p-Value
	Mild	Moderate	Marked
Uninfected untreated	6 (75%)	2 (25%)	0 (0%)	0.005
Infected untreated	0 (0%)	3 (37.5%)	5 (62.5%)
Pomegranate treatment	6 (75%)	1 (12.5%)	1 (12.5%)
Metronidazole treatment	6 (75%)	2 (25%)	0 (0%)
