Figure 1 Colonic damage scores in colons of rats with ulcerative colitis in each group after glutamic acid stimulation and chemical damage to the paraventricular nucleus. aP < 0.05, PVN (12 μg) group vs each group; cP < 0.05, PVN (12 μg) group vs the PVN + KA group; eP < 0.05, PVN (12 μg) group vs the PVN + KYMA group. CDS: Colonic damage score; PVN: Paraventricular nucleus; KA: Kainic acid.

Figure 2 Influence of chemical damage to the nucleus tractus solitarius and injection of AVP-Vl receptor antagonist into the nucleus tractus solitarius on alleviated ulcerative colitis injury in rats by stimulation of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus with glutamic acid. aP < 0.05, PVN (12 μg) group vs the NTS + KA group; cP < 0.05, PVN (12 μg) group vs the NTS + DPVDAV group. DPVDAV: Damage in nucleus tractus solitarius and injection of AVP-Vl receptor antagonist; NTS: Nucleus tractus solitaries; KA: Kainic acid; PVN: Paraventricular nucleus.
