Aronia consumption reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) and prevents depletion of antioxidant enzymes in colon. Splenic CD4⁺CD62L⁺ cells from C57BL/6J mice were transferred to Rag1^-/- mice. Mice consumed the AIN-93M diet (colitic control) or aronia-supplemented diet for five weeks. A third group of Rag1^-/- mice received splenic CD4⁺ cells, consumed AIN-93M diet, and served as the non-colitic control. (A) Colon MDA (n = 4–5/group). (B) Colon glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity (n = 8–10/group). (C) Colon reduced glutathione (rGSH) (n = 8–10/group). Groups bearing different letters indicate significant differences between treatments (p < 0.05). Data are means ± SEMs.
