  1. Histological scores obtained in the experimental model of IM treated with Losartan Score data in median with respective intervals, obtained after observation of the histological slides, where scores from 0 to 3 were attributed. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn's test (n = 5). *Represents p < 0.05 vs. saline group and **Indicates p < 0.05 vs. 5-FU group.
