Effect of AL-PS on (A) daily weight loss; (B) daily clinical signs; (C) colon length; and (D) MPO activity in DSS-induced colitis. Mice were given 200 mg/kg BW of AL-PS daily for 14 days. From day 7, colitis was induced by 5% DSS in drinking water. Weight loss was calculated as percentage change relative to day 0. Colons were measured from the end of the cecum to the anus. Data represent means ± SEM of n = 6 mice/group. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences at p < 0.05. Unless indicated, no significant difference was observed between groups.
