Figure 3. Ameliorative effect of QD on experimental colitis.

Figure 3

A: change of body weight of each group was calculated as the percent difference between the original body weight at day 0 and the weight on any particular day during the experimental period. Values represent the averages of 8 mice; B: DAI scores of different experimental groups of mice; C: lengths of colons were measured at the time of sacrifice. Control group treating saline treatment control for 10 d. DSS group consuming 2.5% DSS water for 7 d followed by an additional consumption period of normal drinking water for 3 d. (5-ASA+DSS) group fed with 2.5% DSS, and respectively given with 5-ASA (o.g.; 100 mg·kg-1·d-1) from day 0 till the end of experiment for a total of 10 d. (QD+DSS) group fed with 2.5% DSS, and respectively given with QD (o.g.; 1.3 g raw herbs·kg-1·d-1) from day 0 till the end of experiment for a total of 10 d. QD: Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis); DAI: disease activity index; DSS: dextran sodium sulfate; 5-ASA: 5-aminosalicylic acid. aP < 0.005, DSS group compared with Control groups; bP < 0.05, (5-ASA+DSS) group compared with DSS groups.
