Fig. 2. Effects of GTP on colon tissue histology. (A) Representative images of Masson’s trichrome-stained colon tissues and histological scores. (B) PAS-stained colon tissues and the percentage of PAS-positive goblet cells. Images are at ×400 magnification, scale bar=50 μm. Values are presented as mean±standard error (n=6). Different letters (a-d) indicate significant differences (P<0.05) among groups, as determined using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison tests. DSS, dextran sulfate sodium; GTP, green tea and java pepper mixture; PAS, periodic acid-Schiff reaction.
