Core Tip	In spite of their procyanadin content and anti-oxidant capacity the almond extracts tested failed to provide any ameliorating effect on chemotherapy-induced mucositis in rats as determined through biochemical and histological evaluation. Currently studies utilising animal models of gastrointestinal disease largely fail to assess measures of patient affect. In order to achieve successful translational outcomes assessment of patient experience is important since these disease conditions are often self-limiting. Burrowing behaviour shows promise as a novel measure of affective state in studies of chemotherapy-induced mucositis.
