• weights of mesenteric lymph nodes 2X controls
|
• colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate involves less inflammatory cell infiltration with fewer neurophils in the lamina propria and submucosa
• epithelial damage normal but decreased epithelial proliferation
• earlier and more severe rectal bleeding
|
• increased numbers of gram (-) bacteria in mesenteric lymph node
