Figure 1

Experimental scheme of MTX-induced jejunoileal mucosal injury in rats. Controls () were given standard chow (CE-2) for 3 weeks and sacrificed 3 to 6 days later. MTX () and MTX/GWT () groups were given CE-2 or CE-2 supplemented with 5% GWT for 3 weeks, injected with MTX (7.5 mg/kg) for 4 consecutive days from day 0 to day 3 (shown by downward arrows), and sacrificed on the days marked with an .
