Figure 5
The number of goblet cells in the distal colons of rats (area of 9.06 mm2 at 40x magnification) that received rectal TNBS (to induce colitis) or saline solution (S) and were treated for 5 or 12 days with propolis hydroalcoholic solution (TNBS-P) or mesalazine solution (TNBS-M). The animals were euthanized on day 7 (a) or 14 (b) after the colitis was induced. Means ± SD followed by different letters on the day of the animals’ deaths indicate a significant difference according to the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn’s post-test (), ().
