Resistant Maltodextrin Alleviates Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Intestinal Inflammatory Injury by Increasing Butyric Acid to Inhibit Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels

Figure 4

Effect of RM on the inflammatory cytokine production in the colons of mice with dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced chronic colitis. Protein was isolated from the colon tissues for ELISA analysis of TNF-α (a), IFN-γ (b), IL-1β (c), IL-10 (d), IL-17 (e), and IL-8 (f) levels. The data are of mice/group. Without the same letter indicated , and there were significant differences between the 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.
