Comparing cytokine concentrations (Figure 10), significantly higher level of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-17A and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 were found in DSS-induced colitis group (p < 0.05, p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively) compared to all other groups (Figure 10b–d). Here, IL10 is linked to colitis.
