Rat Colon Inflammatory Scores and Protein Expression Under Xanthan Gum Diets

Alessandra B. Silva Rischiteli's dataset contains inflammatory scores and immunoexpression levels of TNF-α, Claudin 2, Occludin, and ZO1−1 in the colon of rats. The data compares a control diet against diets with ¼, ½, and full doses of xanthan gum, with values expressed as mean ± SD and animal counts in parentheses. It was last updated on 2026-04-15 and is available as a 5.5 KB XLS file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare inflammatory response levels based on the inflammatory score across different xanthan gum doses.
• Analyze the relationship between TNF-α immunoexpression and dietary additive concentration.
• Investigate changes in intestinal barrier integrity based on Claudin 2, Occludin, and ZO1−1 immunoexpression.
• Model dose-response effects of xanthan gum on colon health using the provided mean and standard deviation values.

Strengths

• Data includes standard deviation (SD) and animal count per group, allowing for assessment of variability.
• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and initial inspection.
• Experimental design is clear, comparing a control group against three distinct treatment doses.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating a limited scope and sample size.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the description.
