Effects of doenjang on the mRNA expression of Bax (A), Bcl-2 (B) and caspase 9 (C) genes in the colon of C57BL/6 mice with AOM/DSS induced colitis associated colon cancer. Nor: AIN-93G, Con: AOM/DSS + AIN-93G, PSD: AOM/DSS + 10% purified salt doenjang with AIN-93G, GSD: AOM/DSS + 10% generally manufactured solar salt doenjang with AIN-93G, WDSD: AOM/DSS + 10% washed-dehydrated solar salt doenjang with AIN-93G. ^a-dMeans with different letters on the bars are significantly different (p < 0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test. AOM, azoxymethane; DSS, dextran sodium sulfate; PSD, purified salt doenjang; GSD, generally manufactured solar salt doenjang; WDSD, washed-dehydrated solar salt doenjang
