EDT protects against barrier disruption and improves oxidative stress in the colon. (A-B) Levels of the TJ proteins ZO-1 and occludin were assessed using Western blot analyses. (C-D) Levels of Bax, cleaved caspase 3, and Bcl-2 were measured using Western blot analyses. (E) The MDA content, (F) SOD activity, (G) GSH-Px activity were determined in colon tissues. All data are presented as means ± S.D. (n = 6). DSS:: dextran sulphate sodium; EDT: eriodictyol; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared with the DSS model group.
