Effects of commercially produced almond by-products on chemotherapy-induced mucositis in rats

Figure 4 Effect of almond extracts on disease severity score in the jejunum (A) and ileum (B) 72 h after either saline or 5-fluorouracil injection. The severity scores were rated based on 8 parameters on different layers of intestinal tissues. The box plots represent the first and third quartiles, horizontal lines represent the median disease severity score and the whisker ends represent the maximum and minimum score. ^bP < 0.01 vs saline + PBS. 5-FU: 5-fluorouracil; PBS: Phosphate-buffered saline; AHE: Almond hull extract; ABW: Almond blanched water.
