Colonic damage was assessed through colitis parameters and histological analysis of the colon.<br />Results: This study demonstrated that pre-treatment with AFC alleviates intestinal damage and clinical symptoms of ulcerative colitis. Histological analysis revealed that AFC helped preserve the integrity of the intestinal barrier. This finding was further supported by the colonic weight/length (W/L) ratio calculations.<br />Conclusion: AFC demonstrates potential as a promising candidate for preventing inflammatory diseases, such as colitis.</p> <p>How to cite this article:<br />Bribi N, Merakeb M S, Afenai S.
