Use of butyrate or glutamine in enema solution reduces inflammation and fibrosis in experimental diversion colitis

Figure 3 Hematoxylin-eosin-stained slides of diverted colon samples obtained at 8 wk. A, B: Images were captured at ×100 and ×400 magnifications, respectively. Diversion colitis is characterized by a predominantly mononuclear cell infiltration, hyperemia, vasodilatation, and associated atrophic changes; C, D: Glutamine-treated animals show a slightly inflamed colon; E, F: Butyrate-treated animals show an almost normal colon (n = 6 in each group). Bars represent 50 μm.
