Overview of the study design. A total of 40 male Balb/c mice were used for the trial. Twenty mice received a control diet and, after 14 days, were split into two subgroups: Controls (CT) that continued to receive the same diet, and DSS treated group (DS) that received water containing DSS ad libitum in order to induce the colitis. The same procedure was employed for the mice fed the phytosterols-enriched diet.
