Effect of enoxaparin on colonic cytokine levels.

<p>Distal colon tissues of mice were cultured for 24 hours. Supernatants were collected and cytokine levels were measured using Bio-Plex assay. Cytokine levels in the supernatant were normalized to tissue weight to obtain pg / mL of cytokines/ 10 mg of tissue. Results are expressed as minimum, 25th percentile, median, mean, 75th percentile and maximum of cytokine levels of 3–5 mice. * <i>p</i> < 0.05 and ** <i>p</i> < 0.01. Interleukin, IL; macrophage inflammatory protein, MIP; granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, G-CSF; granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor, GM-CSF; Control, C; control with oral enoxaparin, C+OE; control with intraperitoneal injection of enoxaparin, C+IPE; untreated colitis, DSS; colitis with oral enoxaparin, DSS+OE; colitis with intraperitoneal injection of enoxaparin, DSS+IPE.
