EA attenuated the progression of DSS-induced IBD mice by antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. (A) Summary of the experiments design. (B) Total disease activity index (DAI) score was measured every day during the experimental period. (C–F) The plasma levels of NO, ROS, TNF, or IL-1β. Data are expressed as the means ± S.E.M. (n = 5–7/group). The statistical significance between values for each group was assessed by Dunnett’s t-test. ** p < 0.01 between 5% DSS and control groups; ^# p < 0.05, ^## p < 0.01 between 5% DSS vs. 60 mg/kg EA groups.
