Effect of BC on CS-induced macroscopic and histopathological changes in the colon. Mice were exposed to CS to induce inflammation. The colon length was measured with a ruler under macroscopic examination (a), and the weight/length ratio was depicted in a graph (b). Colon tissue sections (4 µm thickness) were stained with H&E solution (magnification×100) (c). Values are mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was by one-way ANOVA; *P < 0.05.
