Suppression of Th17 Cell Response in the Alleviation of Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis by Ganoderma lucidum Polysaccharides

Figure 1

GLP attenuated DSS-induced acute colitis. Mice were orally treated with 2.5% DSS in drinking water to induce colitis as described in the Methods. On day 7 after induction of colitis, changes were observed in (a) survival rate (); (b) body weight (%); (c) disease activity index (DAI); (d–e) colon length; (f–g) colon histopathological damage scores. The data are presented as (GLP + DSS-induced acute colitis versus DSS-induced acute colitis, ; ; and ) (). DSS: dextran sulfate sodium; GLP: Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides.
