Table 1 Effect of FREG on TNBS induced alterations in colon weight to length ratio, macroscopic scores & DAI scores in rats. Colon weight to length ratio, macroscopic and DAI scores were decreased significantly after treatment with FREG. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD; n = 6. ★P < 0.05 significantly different from normal control group. #P < 0.05 significantly different from TNBS control group

From: A flavonoid rich standardized extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra protects intestinal epithelial barrier function and regulates the tight-junction proteins expression
