BS attenuated the progression of DSS-induced colitis. a Mice body weight was measured every other day for evaluation of BS efficacy on DSS-induced colitis, and was shown as percentage of weight change. b DAI and (c) colon length were evaluated. d Representative H&E stained histology from vehicle, 5% DSS, and BS-treated groups. Magnification: ×100 (upper), ×200 (lower) (e) Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in colon was assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Statistically differences were analyzed with one-way ANOVA. The data are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate experiments. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs 5% DSS-treated group
