AaEE attenuates clinical signs in mice with DSS-induced colitis. (a) Changes in the body weights and (b) clinical scores of AaEE-treated mice and control mice given 4% DSS were monitored every day. (c) Colons were obtained from mice 10 days after commencement of DSS administration, and their lengths were measured. (d) Macroscopic features of the colons. Control group (without DSS), 4% DSS administration group (DSS), and 4% DSS with V at 200 mg/kg body weight per day. Data shown are from 3 independent experiments and are expressed as mean ± SD ( per group). , versus control; , versus DSS.
