Ethanol Extract of Antrodia camphorata Grown on Germinated Brown Rice Suppresses Inflammatory Responses in Mice with Acute DSS-Induced Colitis
Figure 4
The CBR extract attenuated the severity of DSS-induced acute colitis. (a) Scheme of the experimental design. (b) Colons from each group were collected at day 10 after DSS instillation. Macroscopic images of the colons are shown (left panel). Colon length of each mouse was measured (right panel). (c) Changes in body weight were measured. Body weight was presented as the percentage of the initial weight (at day 0). Data are expressed as the mean S.E. ( per group) (* versus control; # versus DSS; two-way ANOVA followed by a post hoc analysis). (d) Difference in survival rate. This experiment was repeated twice, and similar results were obtained. DSS dextran sulfate sodium; CBR: Antrodia camphorata (AC) grown on germinated brown rice.
