Influence of KCSG and PRUC on intestinal manipulation induced inflammation. MPO activity of the intestinal muscular layer measured 24 h after intestinal manipulation (IM) is displayed for the different groups. The MPO activity in the model group was significantly higher than that of the control group. After treatment with KCSG and PRUC, the rats' MPO activity was markedly lower than that of model rats. Data represent the means ± SEM (n = 10). ***P < 0.001 for comparison with non-treated IM rats with one-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni multiple comparison test
