NC, normal control; DC, DSS, negative control; SC, DSS group with sulfasalazine (250 mg/L), positive control; DYG, DSS group with yogurt fermented at general temperature (37°C); DYL, DSS group with yogurt fermented at low temperature (22°C); DSS, dextran sodium sulfate. Each value represents mean±SD (n=6).
Different letters (a, b, or c) above the columns indicate significant difference between the five groups under low temperature (22°C) (p<0.05).
