Vitamin D and vitamin E inhibit DSS-induced colonic inflammation. (A) Macroscopic inflammation was assessed, and the length of colons was measured for rats in G1 and G2 on day 8. Colon length was shorter in G2 than that in G1. (B) Colon length was measured for rats in the six groups on day 15. Compared with that in G2, the colon length of rats in G3 and G6 was markedly longer. (C) Colon weight to length ratio (%) in G1 and G2 on day 8, and in G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and G6 on day 15. Compared with that in G2, the colon weight/length ratio in G3, G4, G5b and G6 was significantly decreased. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. n=6. ^*P<0.05. G1, control group; G2, 5% DSS group; G3, prednisolone group; G4, vitamin D group; G5a-c, vitamin E (low, medium and high) groups; G6, vitamin D + vitamin E group; DSS, dextran sodium sulfate.
