Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) treatment schedule for the study. Mice were randomly divided into four groups based on body weight. Normal control group mice (NC) were given normal drinking water from Day 0 to Day 5 followed by oral gavage with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) from Day 5 to Day 12. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model group mice (MD) were administered 2.5% DSS containing drinking water from Day 0 to Day 5 followed by oral gavage with PBS from Day 5 to Day 12. Low-dose (LE) and high-dose (HE) EGCG treatment groups of mice were given 2.5% DSS containing drinking water from Day 0 to Day 5 followed by oral gavage with 20 mg/kg/d and 50 mg/kg/d EGCG, respectively, from Day 5 to Day 12.
