Figure 5. Oral administration of CBA L74 fermented milk preparation protects against colitis.

Figure 5

Mice (n = 5) were orally administered on a daily basis for 14 consecutive days (days −2 to 11) with non-fermented milk (NFM) or milk fermented with only CBA L74 (FM). Acute colitis was induced by dissolving 3% DSS in drinking water for 9 days (days 0–9). A. Single mouse body weight curves, Kaplan-Meier survival curve and colon length for NFM and FM. B. Histological parameters. C. Representative histologies for NFM and FM. Arrows indicate ulcers, arrowheads lymphoid follicles and asterisks inflammation.
