Non-peptidyl low molecular weight radical scavenger IAC attenuates DSS-induced colitis in rats

Table 1 Disease activity index score parameters

Stool consistency	Bleeding	Weight loss	Maximum score
0 = formed	0 = normal color stool	0 = no weight loss	10
1 = mild-soft	1 = brown color stool	1 = 5%-10% weight loss
2 = very soft	2 = reddish color stool	2 = 11%-15% weight loss
3 = watery stool	3 = bloody stool	3 = 16%-20% weight loss
		4 = > 20% weight loss

Table 2 Total macroscopic score parameters

Stool consistency	Bleeding	Colon damage score	Colon weight score	Colon length score	Maximum score
0 = formed	0 = absent	0 = no inflammation	0 = < 5% weight loss	0 = < 5% shortening	14
1 = loose	1 = present	1 = hyperemia	1 = 5%-14% weight loss	1 = 5%-14% shortening
2 = liquid		2 = slight erosion	2 = 15%-24% weight loss	2 = 15%-24% shortening
		3 = extensive erosion/ulceration	3 = 25%-35% weight loss	3 = 25%-35% shortening
			4 = > 35% weight loss	4 = > 35% shortening
