Ethanol Extract of Antrodia camphorata Grown on Germinated Brown Rice Suppresses Inflammatory Responses in Mice with Acute DSS-Induced Colitis
Figure 6
Effect of CBR extract on colonic histological changes. (a) Representative histological findings in mice with dextran-sodium-sulfate-(DSS-) induced colitis. Representative sections of colon tissues from normal mice administered with drinking water (control), mice administered with DSS-induced colitis (DSS), and mice coadministered with DSS and CBR extract (DSS+CBR). Histological changes were determined by H&E staining. Scale bar 100 m. Original magnification: 100x. Protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 was analyzed by western blot analysis and quantified by densitometric analysis. (b) Histological score was measured. (c) Histologic score of colitis induced by DSS. Data are expressed as mean S.E ( per group). (* versus control; # versus DSS.) DSS: dextran sulfate sodium; CBR: Antrodia camphorata grown on germinated brown rice.
