Fig. 3From: Sites of gastrointestinal lesion induced by mycophenolate mofetil: a comparison with enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium in ratsComparisons of the histological scores in GI tract. Comparisons of the histological scores in stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, and rectum among rats treated with indicated drugs in (1) EC-MPS group; (2) MMF group; (3) EC-MPS + mofetil (E + M) group; (4) mofetil (M) group. The histopathological score of the jejunum and ileum segments were significantly higher in the MMF group than the EC-MPS group (4.1 ± 0.3 vs 3.2 ± 0.15, p < 0.05) and EC-MPS + mofetil group (4.1 ± 0.3 vs 3.3 ± 0.18, p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the histopathological score of the other tissues among MMF group, EC-MPS group, and EC-MPS + mofetil groupBack to article page
