Table 3 Summary table of differences in staining at mucosal sites by differing butyrate level
From: Keratin 8 expression in colon cancer associates with low faecal butyrate levels
Tissue type | Keratin expression score (mean) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|

MS surface intensity | 2.12 | 1.4 | 0.12 |
MS crypt intensity | 1.84 | 1.66 | 0.6 |
MS crypt extent | 2.24 | 1.76 | 0.44 |
CO surface intensity | 2.44 | 2.15 | 0.58 |
CO crypt intensity | 1.82 | 1.67 | 0.59 |
CO crypt extent | 2.12 | 2.0 | 0.85 |
