Table 1

Effect of royal jelly on the disease activity index of mice undergoing TNBS-induced colitis.

Group	Macroscopic assessment	Adhesion	Diarrhea
Noncolitic (saline)	0 ± 0^b	0 ± 0^b	0 ± 0^b
Colitic (TNBS)	4.5 ± 0.42	1.5 ± 0.54	0.71 ± 0.48
RJ 100 mg/kg	2.56 ± 0.29^a	0.44 ± 0.72^a	0.67 ± 0.5
RJ 150 mg/kg	2.67 ± 0.236^a	0.625 ± 0.91	0.62 ± 0.51
RJ 200 mg/kg	3.88 ± 0.515	1.38 ± 0.91	0.750 ± 0.46

Results are presented as mean ± SEM. ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s -test. and are significantly different from colitic nontreated group.
