Therapeutic effects of NDF-M1 in mice. A Scheme of the treatment procedures. B and C Changes in body weight and DAI during 30 days of treatment. The scores were graded according to DAI, including rectal bleeding, loose stools and body weight. D and E Representative photos of colons and colon length statistics. The colon length was measured using Image J. F Representative H&E-stained histological sections of colonic tissues. The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration is delineated by green arrows. G The levels of oxidative mediators, including MDA, CAT, and MPO. Their production in the colonic tissue homogenates was detected by their respective assay kits. H The expression levels of representative IL-1β inflammatory cytokines in colonic tissue, which were detected by ELISA. *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001 versus the model group. All data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 6)
