Inflammatory markers in rats receiving diets varying in their unsaturated fatty acid composition for 4 weeks followed by TNBS-induced colitis. (a) Colon/weight length at day 2. (b) Colon iNOS expression with a representative gel at day 2. (c) Colon IL-6 and (d) TNFα production. 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is used a positive anti-inflammatory control. Data from colitic rats were compared by 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey posttests. means versus CTRL, means versus CTRL, and means versus TNBS.
