Efficacy profiles for different concentrations of Lactobacillus acidophilus in experimental colitis

Figure 3 Effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus treatments on colitis-induced changes in disease activity index scores. Comprehensive evaluation of body weight decrease, fecal properties, and fecal occult blood was carried out by the disease activity index (DAI) scoring system throughout the study course. A: The daily mean ± SD DAI score is plotted for each group; B: Mean ± SD DAI scores on day 7 post-treatment. ^aP < 0.05 vs untreated model control group; ^cP < 0.05 vs positive-treatment (prednisone acetate) model control group; ^eP < 0.05 vs normal control group. NS: Negative-treatment.
