Significant differences were detected amongmeans of body weights ofexperimental animals in comparison with control group as following: - Hf>C>HfLp>LP. — ' - Profound histological changes of colon were observed specially in the Hflp group in process of time. Significant differences in numbers of goblet cells and thickness ofthe adventitial layer of colon was detected, the numbers of goblet cells were reduced in LP group, while their numbers increased in Hf group.
