Figure 5. Fucoxanthin-rich brown algae extract decreases oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in DSS-induced colitis plasma. Plasma samples were collected from DSS-induced colitis mice and assessed for oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. (A) MDA concentration was not significantly decreased in groups treated with FX-BAE, (B) SOD levels were increased after treatment with FX-BAE. (C) FX-BAE also caused significant decreases in TNF-α expression in the dosage range 1- 5 g/kg/day, and IL-6 production was lessened. Curcumin (0.8 g/kg/day) was used as a positive control. Data are reported as means ±SD (n = 10 mice/group). Different letters indicate significantly differences with p < 0.05 : Fucoxanthin-Rich Brown Algae Extract Decreases Inflammation and Attenuates Colitis-associated Colon Cancer in Mice : Science and Education Publishing
