Figure 4

Myeloperoxidase activity indicative of acute inflammation in the rat (a) jejunum and (b) ileum on day 12. Data are expressed as mean (myeloperoxidase activity; units per gram; U/g) standard error of the mean. Rats were gavaged daily with 0.5 mL of Water, Olive Oil or Emu Oil throughout the experimental period (days 0–12) and administered water or Indomethacin (Indo; 8 mg/kg) daily from day 5. ** indicates compared to Water + Water; indicates , indicates compared to Indomethacin + Water.
