Table 3 Scoring system for inflammation-associated histological changes in the colon (Wirtz et al., 2007)
From: Dietary phenethylisothiocyanate attenuates bowel inflammation in mice
| Score | Histologic changes |
|---|---|
| 0 | No evidence of inflammation |
| 1 | Low level of inflammation with scattered infiltrating mononuclear cells (1--2 foci) |
| 2 | Moderate inflammation with multiple foci |
| 3 | High level of inflammation with increased vascular density and marked wall thickening |
| 4 | Maximal severity of inflammation with transmural leukocyte infiltration and loss of goblet cells |
