They received different daily doses of M. officinalis L. in two forms (orally, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) and gel extract (10% and 20%). On the 7th day, the colon tissues were examined regarding the macroscopic and histopathology lesions plus oxidative stress and compared to the positive and negative control groups. Results HPLC analysis revealed that five grams of the flower powder contained 9.7 mg gallic acid, 99 mg catechin, 21.9 mg caffeic acid, 0.86 mg chlorogenic acid, 1.13 mg quercetin, 548.9 mg cinnamic acid, 289 mg coumarin and 126 mg p-coumaric acid.
