Figure 2

Histological sections of the colon of rats fed with different percentages of D. reflexa-included diets with concomitant MNU instillation; (b) MNU control: deep mucosal ulceration with moderate interglandular inflammation; (c) 2.5% D. reflexa + MNU: mild ulceration with submucosal inflammation; (a, d, e, and f) normal control, 5% and 10% D. reflexa + MNU, and 10% D. reflexa control, respectively; normal mucosal epithelia, no dysplasia. Red arrow = mucosal ulceration; yellow arrow = inflammation.
