Figure 12

Effect of LPS (10 µg/ml) in the presence or absence of AtRA (10-7 M) on NO (a) and TNF-α (b) production by colonic mucosa of patients with active UC and CAC. Values represent mean ± standard deviation. Significance compared with control: , , and . ns, no significant difference, (UC: ulcerative colitis; CAC: colitis associated cancer; C: control, normal mucosa).
