Probiotic yeasts: Anti-inflammatory potential of various non-pathogenic strains in experimental colitis in mice

Figure 6 Effects of the various treatments 3 d after the TNBS-induced colitis on colonic macroscopic damage (Wallace) (A), histology scores (Ameho) (B) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (C). Mice received intra-rectally either saline or TNBS following oral pre-treatment by prednisone (10 mg/kg, 2 d), by various yeast strains for 5 d or after intra-peritoneal administration (IP) of the yeast at the onset of colitis. Results are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 10 per group), ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001 vs TNBS-saline.
