Experimental groups

Description

Control (C)

Healthy animals that did not receive the products under study

Colitis (CL)

Animals with chemically induced colitis that have not received any treatment

Colitis + probiotic (CLPR)

Animals with chemically induced colitis and which received orange juice containing probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici CE51

Colitis + placebo (CLP)

Animals with chemically induced colitis that received only orange juice (placebo)

Colitis + sulfasalazine (CLS)

Animals with chemically induced colitis that received the sulfasalazine drug

  1. A total of 45 animals was divided into 5 experimental groups, namely, Control (C): Did not receive induction of colitis by DSS and no treatment; Colitis (CL): Induction of colitis by DSS and absence of treatment; Colitis + Probiotic (CLPR): Induction of colitis by DSS and treatment with P. acidilactici CE51; Colitis + Placebo (CLP): Induction of colitis by DSS and treatment with only orange juice; Colitis + Sulfasalazine (CLS): Induction of colitis by DSS and treatment with sulfasalazine drug.
