DSS challenge of 1% WB, 1% oyster and control fed mice. Control, WB and oyster fed mice that were treated with DSS for 5 d followed by water for 5 d (10 d post-DSS). (A) Percentage of starting weight following DSS treatment, (B) colonic length at d 10 after DSS treatment, and (C) colonic production of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 at d 10 post-DSS. Values are mean ± SEM of 4–6 mice per group.
