Dextran sulfate sodium-induced acute colitis impairs dermal lymphatic function in mice

Figure 1 Clinical and inflammatory symptoms during dextran sulfate sodium-induced acute colitis assessed by changes in body weight (A), diarrhea score (B), visible fecal blood score (C), colon length (D), and histological sections of the colons in control mice (E) and mice that received dextran sulfate sodium for 7 d (F). Control (n = 9) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated (n = 21) mice. Data presented as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.001 vs control. ^cP < 0.05, ^dP < 0.01, ^fP < 0.001 vs baseline. ^hP < 0.001 vs day 4. Scale bar = 100 μm.
