Effects of Guchang Capsule on Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Experimental Ulcerative Colitis in Mice

Figure 2

Effect of GC on histology of colon in DSS-treated mice. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin- (H&E-) stained sections of colons (original magnification ×100); (b) histopathological score; (c) colon weight; (d) colon length. Colitis was induced by administration of 4% DSS for 6 days. GC were given intragastrically once per day for 6 days from the first day, respectively. The mice were sacrificed at day 6 and colons were excised for indicated experiments. The data are representative of three independent experiments ( per group, mean ± SD). versus control + DSS group, versus control + DSS group, and versus control group.
