Baitouweng decoction alleviates dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis by regulating intestinal microbiota and the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Baitouweng (BTW) decoction, a Chinese traditional medicine prescription, has been used to treat ulcerative colitis (UC) over hundreds of years. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of BTW and intestinal flora of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC mice, and we investigated the mechanism of BTW in the preliminary treatment of UC.

Aim Of Study: The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of BTW in treating UC through molecular biology and high-throughput sequencing.
