Background/Objectives: The worldwide occurrence of ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing, but existing treatments frequently suffer from limited effectiveness and notable side effects. walnut green husk polysaccharide (WGHP) has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities; however, its specific potential and mechanisms of action against colitis remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of purified WGHP on (dextran sulfate sodium) DSS-induced UC an
