Representative photomicrographs (100×) of sham-operated group (A), model group (B) and study group with 0.2 mg/kg (C), 2 mg/kg (D), 20 mg/kg (E) montelukast. Black arrow denotes areas of bleeding and necrosis, red arrow denotes areas of neutrophil infiltration. Intestinal histology was evaluated using the Chiu score ((F); scale 0–5). *P < 0.05.
