Figure 3: ASIV increases blood flow in TNBS-induced colitis in rats.

(A) Representative images of colonic blood flow in each group. The magnitude of colonic blood flow is represented by different colors, with blue to red denoting low to high. (B) Quantitative analysis of colonic blood flow in different groups. Sham: sham group; ASIV: ASIV alone group; TNBS 1D: TNBS treatment for 1 day group; TNBS 7D: TNBS treatment for 1 days followed by saline treatment for 6 days group; TNBS 7D + ASIV: TNBS treatment for 1 day followed by ASIV treatment for 6 days group. Data are mean ± SEM (N = 8). *p < 0.05 vs. Sham group, #p < 0.05 vs. TNBS 7D group.
