11.   Increased reactive oxygen species values in the inflamed colonic mucosa in rats were seen by chemiluminescence.

12.   These cells infiltrate into the colonic mucosa and are abundant during the active phase of colitis.

13.   Indomethacin, at doses that are known to inhibit cyclo-oxygenase, failed to inhibit chemiluminescence production by the inflamed colonic mucosa.

14.   We used the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium to detect the generation of superoxide in inflamed colonic mucosa.

15.   Superoxide seems to be generated by the endothelium in inflamed colonic mucosa.

16.   This is released by macrophages and neutrophils that infiltrate the colonic mucosa in large numbers during active ulcerative colitis and may affect the function of underlying smooth muscle.

17.   Twenty subjects with normal colonoscopy and histologically normal colonic mucosa were included as a control group.

18.   Parallel studies of expression of the DCC gene confirm that while mRNA transcripts are present in normal colonic mucosa and adenomas, the gene is frequently unexpressed in carcinomas.

19.   In this study, two immunocytochemical methods that measure different components of the cell cycle were compared to assess cell proliferation on biopsy samples from human colonic mucosa.

20.   The proliferation index was assessed in colonic mucosa from patients with no colonic disorders.
