Background: Bupleurum chinense DC polysaccharide (BCP) demonstrates a significant role in ameliorating gastric ulceration and enhancing intestinal barrier function, and have broad medicinal value. Nevertheless, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms in ulcerative colitis (UC) remain to be elucida...
Cecal contents metabolomics analysis of DSS-induced colitis mice and DSS-induced colitis mice with V. parvula colonization.
Background and aims: Elevation of conjugated primary bile acid—GCA in fecal samples was reported in IBD patients compared to healthy controls (nearly 10-fold), as well as in active ulcerative colitis (UC) patients relative to those in remission stages. Therefore we wanted to investigate the poten...
Background: Unlike the reported CA, the abundance of fecal GCA did not significantly increase after DSS treatment in C57BL/6J mice. Hence, exogenous supplementation of GCA were given to DSS-induced colitis mice via oral gavage. We want to know whether GCA treatment at 200 mg/kg yielded fecal GCA ...
BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Recent studies demonstrate that the phenolic tannin paeonol (Pae) attenuates UC in mouse models by downregulating inflammatory factors; however, molecular mechanisms lin...
