Symptoms of DSS-induced colitis: (a) body weight change, (b) disease activity index (DAI), (c) colon length, and (d) macroscopic pictures of colons. The data are of mice/group. Without the same letter indicated , which means there were significant differences between two groups. CON: group provided water; DSS: group provided 3% DSS () solution with distilled water; RM: group provided resistant maltodextrin (50 mg/kg body weight/day) dissolving in 100 μL PBS by gavage; RM-DSS: group provided with 3% DSS () solution with distilled water and RM (50 mg/kg body weight/day) dissolving in 100 μL PBS by gavage.
