TS–FMT ameliorated the pathological symptoms of DSS-induced UC mice. TS ameliorated the pathological symptoms of DSS-induced UC mice. A Experimental procedure; B disease activity index; C body weight changes; D colon length; E histopathology score; F the number of goblet cells; G CAT in plasma; H MDA in plasma; I T-SOD in plasma; J level of MPO in the colon; K level of GSH-PX in the colon; L representative H&E-stained colon sections images (magnification ×100); M representative AB-PAS strain colon sections images (magnification ×100). The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 9). Significance was determined by ANOVA with Tukey’s analysis, p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (CON–FMT: the feces of the Control group were given to the DSS-treated mice for fecal microbiota transplantation, TS–FMT: the feces of the normal mice orally administered with TS alone were given to the DSS-treated mice for fecal microbiota transplantation)
