Fig. 4From: Lactobacillus paracasei R3 protects against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice via regulating Th17/Treg cell balanceL.p R3 strain ameliorates the general symptoms of murine colitis. A Percentage change in body weight of mice after induction of colitis. B Daily disease activity index (DAI) of mice after induction of colitis. C Representative images showing the colon lengths on days 14. D Representative images of the spleen and SI on days 14. E Histological analysis of the severity of colon sections in DSS-induced colitis mouse model. Colon tissue was paraffin-embedded and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain (HE stain). Cellular infiltration, crypt distortion, and goblet cell loss were analyzed on days 14. HE stain scale: 100 mm. n = 6, *p < 0.05Back to article page
