Figure 6 The effect of concurrent administration of nitric oxide donor glyceryl trinitrate on the area of colonic damage and alterations in colonic blood flow in rats with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-induced colitis, treated with vehicle or aspirin, on day 10. Mean ± SE of 6-8 rats. ^aP < 0.02 vs vehicle (control); ^cP < 0.02 vs vehicle or aspirin alone. TNBS: Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid; ASA: Aspirin; GTN: Glyceryl trinitrate; CBF: Colonic blood flow.
