CORT feeding inhibits inflammation of neoplasms from AOM/DSS-induced CRC mice. The colorectum of model mice with CT or VT (number = 8 per group) were processed for H&E staining. Representative images of neoplasm area (a, at 10X and 20X). Semi-quantitative histological measurement of total inflammation (inflammation score) were calculated by adding the values for percent ulceration, percent re-epithelialization, and active, chronic and transmural inflammation (b). Data expressed as mean ± SD. *P<0.05 by unpaired t-test analysis. H&E hematoxylin and eosin, CORT corticosterone, CT CORT treatment, VT vehicle treatment
