Hydrogen-rich water protects against inflammatory bowel disease in mice by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress and promoting heme oxygenase-1 expression

Figure 7 Hydrogen-rich water up-regulates expression of heme oxygenase-1 in dextran sulfate sodium-induced inflammatory bowel disease. On the 7^th d after inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) modeling, the colon tissues were harvested and Western blot analysis was conducted to evaluate the level of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). n = 6, mean ± SEM, ^aP < 0.05 vs control group; ^bP < 0.05 vs dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) group. HRW: Hydrogen-rich water.
