^aPairwise comparisons were conducted using the Kruskal Wallis non-parametric test. P values marked with an asterisk are significantly different (P = 0.05).
^bPathology categories (Cat): EH, epithelial hyperplasia; CH, crypt height; EI, epithelial injury; II, inflammatory infiltrates; MA, mitotic activity; GC, globlet cell depletion. Total score corresponds to the sum of scores of all categories.
