The Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Guchangzhixie-Pill by Reducing Colonic EC Cell Hyperplasia and Serotonin Availability in an Ulcerative Colitis Rat Model

Figure 1

The macroscopic anti-inflammatory effects of GCZX-pill in TNBS-induced UC rats were evaluated by DAI (a), MS (b), colon thickness (c), and colonic edema (d). Data are shown as mean ± SEM ( = 12 per group). < 0.05 and < 0.01 versus the control rats; < 0.05 and < 0.01 versus the UC rats; one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s posttest; Kruskal–Wallis analysis followed by Dunn’s posttest was applied for statistical comparison of DAI and MS.
