Fig. 1From: Implication of Porphyromonas gingivalis in colitis and homeostasis of intestinal epitheliumMonitoring of colitic mice. (a) Body weight loss and lethality of mice were monitored for 12 days. The body weight of each mouse at day 0 was calculated as 100%. Numbers in parentheses mean the percentage of dead mice. In ‘DSS + PBS’ group, 2 mice at day 11 and 1 mouse at day 12 died. In ‘DSS + EcLPS’ and ‘DSS + EcLPS’ group, 1 mouse at day12 died, respectively. (b) Disease activity index indicating colitis severity was scored at day 12. 6 mice per group were used. In (b), p-value significance was calculated by comparing other groups against (+) group (marked as +). **P < 0.01Back to article page
