Figures 3 shows the effect of orally administered Curcuma Longa (CL) on the macroscopic ulcer score (MaUS) in the colon of rat before (b) and after (a) the induction of IBD. Note that CL at a dose of 1 and 10 mg/kg, caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in MaUS after day 7, when compared to control. In the pretreated group, CL at a doses of 1, 10 and 100 mg/kg, resulted in a significant (P < 0.001) reduction in MaUS albeit at different time points. *Significance difference between CL-treated and non IBD control; # Significance difference between CL-treated and IBD control n = 6
