The protective activity of F9 was examined through macroscopical scores, histopathological changes, immunohistochemical localization of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and examination of oxidative stress such as reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and malondialdehyde (MDA) against acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. Here, SOD1 is linked to colitis.
