Promising effect of Magliasa, a traditional Iranian formula, on experimental colitis on the basis of biochemical and cellular findings

Figure 2 Histological images of colon samples. In the Sham group, colons were within normal limits including crypts (A) and submucosal tissue (B), but intense transmural inflammation (C), and severe crypt destruction (D) were observed in the control group. Moderate crypt distortion (E and G) and inflammatory cell infiltration (F and H) was seen in the Mag-5 and Mag-100 groups. Mild focal inflammation and crypt abscess were observed in the Mag-20 and infliximab groups (I and J). Mild focal inflammation was observed in the Dexa group (K). Magnification of all images was 100. Dexa: Dexamethasone; Inf: Infliximab; Mag-50: Magliasa at a dose of 50 mg/kg; Mag-100: Magliasa at a dose of 100 mg/kg; Mag-200: Magliasa at a dose of 200 mg/kg.
