Kefir treatment ameliorates dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in rats

Table 3 Colon length and weights according to groups

Groups	Colon weight (g)	Colon length (cm)
Normal control	1.48 ± 0.02	17.38 ± 0.17
Kefir-control	1.51 ± 0.02	17.44 ± 0.18a
Colitis	1.58 ± 0.04	16.70 ± 0.21
Kefir-colitis	1.65 ± 0.09	16.83 ± 0.16

Data is presented as mean ± SD. Analysis of variance indicated a difference among the groups with respect to colon length only (P < 0.05);
