Oral EGCG attenuated oxidative stress and colonic damage. Concentrations of T-SOD (a), CAT (b), and MDA (c) in plasma from each group. d Level of T-AOC in the colon. Concentrations of T-SOD (e), CAT (f), GSH-px (g), and MDA (h) in the colon (n = 7–8 per group). i Apoptosis rate in colonic sections (n = 6 per group). j Representative fluorescent pictures of TUNEL staining of colonic sections. Scale bars represent 50 μm. k Representative images of Alcian blue-stained inner mucus layer of colonic sections. Scale bars represent 50 μm. l Representative images showing the microstructure of colonic epithelia by TEM. Data are presented as means ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined using one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey test. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001
