digestive/alimentary system
• development of intestinal inflammation occurs 3-5 days earlier when challenged with dextran sulfate than in controls
• more severe weight loss (28% vs 9% in controls)
• mortality also more rapid
• lesions more persistent into recovery period
• pathological changes most obvious in the distal large intestine including a marked shortening of the long axis
