Protective effect of naringenin on acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats

Figure 1 Effect of naringenin on colon weight/length (A), mucus concentration (B) and induction of ulceration and its protection by treatments in colonic tissue of rats with acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis (C) (n = 6). Values in (A) and (B) are expressed as mean ± SE and analyzed using one way analysis of variance followed by Newman-Keuls post hoc test. ^bP < 0.01 control vs acetic acid (AA); ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01 AA vs naringenin (NG) 25 + AA, NG50 + AA, NG100 + AA or mesalazine (MES) + AA groups. Groups in (C) are arranged as follows: control (1), AA (2), NG25 + AA (3), NG50 + AA (4), NG100 + AA (5) and MES + AA (6).
