Effect of GR on DSS-induced colon shortening. Ulcerative colitis was induced and GR and 5-ASA administered as described in the legend to Fig. 1. Colon length steadily shortened in mice receiving DSS. a Colon was harvested on day 10, and colon lengths were measured. b Colon lengths in the five groups. Values represent mean ± S.E.M (n = 6). Data were analyzed by Tukey post hoc test (^# P < 0.05 versus control and ^* P < 0.05 versus DSS alone)
