Figure 3 Levels of different biochemical parameters in the colon of rats after 2 wk of treatment. A: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α); B: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β); C: Total antioxidant capacity as a ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) level; D: Lipid peroxidation as a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) level; E: Neutrophil infiltration as myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. Values are mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05 vs the Sham group; ^cP < 0.05 vs the control group; ^eP < 0.05 vs the dexamethasone group. 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.
