Effects of Rhizophora mangle on Experimental Colitis Induced by TNBS in Rats

Table 4

Effect of BuOH fraction and EtOAc fraction on colonic MPO activity and TBARS levels in TNBS-induced colitis in rats.

Group	Colon MPO activity; (U/mg of protein)	Colon TBARS levels; (𝜇mol TBARS/mg of protein)
Noncolitic	0.642 ± 0.061**	4.294 ± 0.707**
Colitic nontreated	2.891 ± 0.740	5.737 ± 0.139
BuOH fraction 0.5 mg/Kg	0.896 ± 0.102**	4.171 ± 0.106***
EtOAc fraction 1.5 mg/Kg	2.264 ± 0.429	7.218 ± 0.776

Results are presented as mean ± SEM ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t-test, *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 significantly different from colitic nontreated.
