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

Figure 8 Effects of the various treatments 3 d after the TNBS-induced colitis on blood markers. A: Serum amyloid A protein (SAA); B: IL-6. 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, 0.05 < ^dP < 0.1 vs TNBS-saline.
