Induction of colitis treated with 2% DSS and the effects of CON, ARA(L), ARA(M), ARA(H) and DHA diet on colitis disease severity. Mice consumed each diet for 42 days before DSS colitis induction. Colitis was induced by 2% (w/v) DSS in drinking water for 7 d. Disease severity was assessed by colon length (a), colon weight (b), diarrhea score (c) and hemoccult score (d). Data are represented as means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus DSS-treated colitis group (n = 10).
