After administering with NPs, mice with DSS-induced acute or chronic colitis exhibited significant improvement in body weight, colon length, and disease activity index, decreased the level of the factors associated with oxidative stress (MPO, NO and ROS) and the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6), which implied that NPs could ameliorate murine colitis effectively. Here, IL6 is linked to Chronic colitis.
