Soy Saponins Meditate the Progression of Colon Cancer in Rats by Inhibiting the Activity of β-Glucuronidase and the Number of Aberrant Crypt Foci but Not Cyclooxygenase-2 Activity

Figure 5

The activities of β-glucuronidase in the colonic mucosa1,2, 3. 1Data are expressed as (  3~4). 2PS0: received saline and fed AIN93G diet; PS0.5: received saline and fed AIN93G diet containing 0.5% saponins; DSO: received 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) and fed AIN93G diet; DS0.5: received DMH and fed AIN93G diet containing 0.5% saponins; DS1: received DMH and fed AIN93G diet containing 1% saponins. 3The enzyme activities are derived from the changes of activity at 0 and 60 mins. etters at the top of each bar sharing the different superscripts are significantly different ( ).
