Statistical analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test. *, #, †, ‡ Significantly different from normal control, DSS-induced colitis, DSS + SSZ and DSS + DIO 100 mg/kg groups at p < 0.05, respectively. DSS: dextran sulfate sodium; SSZ: sulfasalazine; DIO: diosmin.
