Juvenile ferric iron prevents microbiota dysbiosis and colitis in adult rodents

Figure 5 Effect of a 6 wk juvenile ferric iron supplementation (75 mg/kg per day po) on the inflammatory response at adulthood of rats submitted or not (sham-colitis) to a trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis. A: Macroscopic damage scores (MDS); B: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity Data are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 8 per group). ^aP < 0.05 vs trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-treated group, ^bP < 0.01 vs Sham-colitis.
