AaEE treatment improves the histopathological score in DSS-induced colitis mice. Mice colons were obtained at 10 days after DSS administration and were stained with H&E and Alcian blue. H&E and Alcian blue staining were performed on colon sections obtained from mice belonging to the control group (no DSS), DSS-treated (4% DSS), and AaEE (200 mg/kg) + DSS. Histopathological scores were analyzed from slides (a). Data from 3 independent experiments is shown and expressed as the mean ± SD ( per group). versus control; 5 versus DSS. Images were obtained at 10 and 40x magnification (b and c).
