Expression of inflammatory markers in colonic tissue homogenates, TNBS-induced chronic colitis model. Gene expression of COL1A1 (Panel a), CTGF (Panel b) and α-SMA (Panel c) measured by RT-PCR (**p < 0.01 vs. controls, 2-tailed); Protein expression of COX-2 (Panel d) and α-SMA (Panel e) measured by Western Blot (**p < 0.01 vs. controls, 2-tailed). Sample size by panel: Panel a–c Control n = 7, TNBS n = 6, TNBS + Modulen n = 9. Panel d Control n = 3, TNBS n = 4, TNBS + Modulen n = 9. Panel e Control n = 8, TNBS n = 6, TNBS + Modulen n = 9
