Protective Effect of Anthocyanins Extract from Blueberry on TNBS-Induced IBD Model of Mice

Figure 4

(a–c) Effects of anthocyanins extract on colon length and macroscopic score in mice with TNBS-induced colitis. The colon length of the surviving mice from each group was measured and typical sample was filmed, and the inflammatory severity of colon was scored. Both these indicators were ameliorated by anthocyanins extract. The scores were given according to the criteria presented in the method. ^∗𝑃<.05, ^∗∗𝑃<.01, ^∗∗∗𝑃<.005 versus TNBS group.
