Anti-inflammatory effects of Mangifera indica L. extract in a model of colitis

Figure 4 Effect of Mangifera indica L. on myeloperoxidase activity, lipid peroxidation and glutathione levels in dextran sulfate sodium-treated rat colon tissue. Induction of experimental colitis, the control group, and groups A, B and C were as described for Figure 1. Each bar represents the mean ± SE of each group. ^aSignificant differences vs control group; ^cSignificant differences vs group A; P < 0.05. A: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels were determined; B: Lipid peroxidation was estimated according to the presence of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS); C: Glutathione (GSH) levels were determined. MIE: Mangifera indica L.; DSS: Dextran sulfate sodium.
