Fig. 4From: Lactobacillus plantarum A3 attenuates ulcerative colitis by modulating gut microbiota and metabolismLactobacillus plantarum A3 can regulate the biochemical indexes and cytokine expression of ulcerative colitis in mice with gut microbial dysbiosis. A-E Expression of cytokines at protein level in colonic tissue was measured by western blot in each group (A: IL-1β; B: IL-6; C: TNF-α; D: IFN-γ; E: IL-10); F Foxp3 in colonic tissue was measured by immunohistochemistry, and the mean optical density was calculated in each group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001Back to article page
