Experimental protocol. Experimental A/J mice were divided into three groups, i.e., control (or negative control) group, model group, and American ginseng group. Animals in the model and ginseng groups initially received a single intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane (AOM; 7.5 mg/kg). One week after the AOM administration (set as Day 0), mice in the model and ginseng groups received 2.5% dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in drinking water for 7 consecutive days. Before AOM injection, mice received a standard diet. After AOM injection, mice received a high fat diet, and mice in the ginseng group also received oral American ginseng extract 30 mg/kg/day from Day -7 to Day 77. Fecal samples were collected on Day 0, 28, 42, 56 and 70.
