BALB/c mice were given 2.5 mg/mouse TNBS (dissolved in 50% ethanol) or the vehicle ethanol intrarectally. All the mice were sacrificed on fourth day. a Body weight changes were monitored between zeroth to fourth day in different groups of mice. b Colon lengths were measured. c Histological analysis (hematoxylin and eosin staining) of mice colons was determined under microscope (original magnification,£¿¡Á200). d Extracts from colons were subjected to LC3 western blotting to evaluate for treatment with TNBS versus the vehicle ethanol. Values were mean£¿¡À£¿SD. The asterisk indicates p£¿<£¿0.05.
