Colitis Recovery

Colitis Recovery

White button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) powder helped mice recover from colitis by improving stool consistency, preserving colon length, and reducing markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. It lowered IL-1β and TNF-α levels, boosted antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, and supported gut barrier function, all without altering the microbiome during recovery.
