XLS attenuated DSS-induced colonic mucosal damage in rats. (a) Water + saline (sterile tap water and saline); (b) water + XLS (sterile tap water and 0.3 g XLS); (c) DSS + saline (4% DSS and saline); (d) DSS + XLS (4% DSS and 0.3 g XLS) (HE staining, ×40 and ×400 original magnification); and (e) total histological damage score. Numbers in brackets represent the sample numbers of each group. ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 versus water + saline.
