Anti-inflammatory effect of L. helveticus NS8 on acute colitis induced in BALB/c mice by intrarectal administration of TNBS. a. Weight variation between day 5 (TNBS administration) and day 7 (death). b. Wallace inflammation scores. Results are means ± SEM of one representative experiment (ten mice per group). Significant P < 0.05 (*), as compared with the TNBS control group. c. Histological sections of colonic tissues of BALB/c mice.
