Effects of Rhizophora mangle on Experimental Colitis Induced by TNBS in Rats

Table 3

Effect of BuOH fraction and EtOAc fraction on colonic GSH level, GSH-Px, and catalase activities in TNBS-induced colitis in rats.

Group	Colon GSH levels; (𝜇mol/mg of protein)	Colon GSH-Px activity; (nmol/min/mg of protein)	Colon CAT activity; (U/mg of protein)
Noncolitic	8.320 ± 1.720**	11.070 ± 0.638*	17.510 ± 3.198**
Colitic nontreated	1.028 ± 1.026	4.472 ± 0.409	1.459 ± 1.082
BuOH fraction 0.5 mg/Kg	6.548 ± 0.935*	11.620 ± 0.869**	15.910 ± 2.409**
EtOAc fraction 1.5 mg/Kg	6.706 ± 1.969*	14.850 ± 1.573***	15.660 ± 3.380**

Results are presented as mean ± SEM ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s t-test, *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 significantly different from colitic nontreated.
