Effect of short-term administration of selected fibers in a TNBS colitis model: in addition to their standard diet, mice were administered water, Fiber 1, or Fiber 2 for five days. Next, TNBS colitis was induced. The body weight change (a), the macroscopic score (b), the histological score of representative May-Grünwald-Giemsa stained colon sections (c), the myeloperoxidase activity (d), serum levels of IL-6 (e) and SAA (f), and the expression of inflammatory genes in the colon (g) were scored. , .
