Fig. 2From: Linear growth failure induced by systemic inflammation inhibiting IGF-1/IGFBP axis in rats with asymptomatic colitisComparison of MPO in colonic tissue and cytokine levels among the three groups at d3 and d5. The values are expressed as the means (SD), n = 8/group. a Intestinal MPO concentration. b Faecal calprotectin levels. c Plasma calprotectin concentrations. d Plasma TNF-α concentrations. e Plasma IL-6 concentrations. The skewed data of faecal calprotectin, TNF-α and IL-6 were compared after log transformations among the three groups by ANOVA. * P < 0.05 vs control group; # P < 0.05 vs colitis group; §P < 0.05 vs d3Back to article page
