Figure 6.

Effect of Cordyceps militaris grown on germinated soybeans (GSC) extract on the protein expression of p53 in colon tissue of mice with DSS-induced colitis. Representative immunohistochemical staining for p53 in a colonic section (200x; scale bar = 100 μm) from (A) control mice administered with drinking tap water (n ≥ 15 per group), (B) DSS-induced mice administered with DSS in drinking tap water (n ≥ 15 per group), and (C) co-administered with DSS drinking water and GSC extract oral injection (500 mg/kg/day) (n ≥ 15 per group). Open arrows indicate p53 protein(s).
