The inappropriate immune response to foods, such as peanut, wheat and milk may be the basis in the pathogenesis of enteropathies like coeliac and Crohn disease, which present small intestinal malabsorption. A number of recent studies have utilized d-xylose absorption as an investigative tool to
Anti-inflammatory drugs influence intestinal absorption. Acetylsalicylic acid, indomethacin, and PAS decrease significantly the values of xylose test in man. Paracetamol decreases the values of the test in two thirds of the subjects. Salicylamide, phenylbutazone, and sulfadimethoxine do not possess
Here, the anti-inflammatory effect of Xylose-Taurine reduced (X-T-R), a taurine derivate was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. X-T-R reduced the generations of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induced by the stimulation of LPS in RAW 264.7 by
OBJECTIVE
Postabsorptive plasma citrulline concentration has been proposed as a reliable marker of small bowel absorptive capacity in short bowel patients. The aim of this study was to address the potentially confounding impact of intestinal inflammation.
METHODS
Fifty-five patients were selected
A review of reported cases of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) of horses for which no etiology was identified included cases of granulomatous enteritis (GE), multisystemic eosinophilic epitheliotropic disease (MEED), lymphocytic-plasmacytic enterocolitis (LPE), and idiopathic eosinophilic
The preventive effects of acidic xylooligosaccharide prepared from xylan of corncobs and related sugars on stress-induced gastric inflammation in mice were investigated. Oral administration of acidic xylooligosaccharide and hydrocortisone at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight significantly
BACKGROUND
The frequency with which non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase small intestinal permeability and cause inflammation is uncertain.
OBJECTIVE
To examine small intestinal permeability and inflammation in a large number of patients on long term NSAIDs.
METHODS
Sixty eight
Enzymatic extraction has been successfully used for extracting numerous biologically active compounds from a wide variety of seaweeds. In this study, we found that enzymatic extraction of the fucoidan from Ecklonia cava may be more advantageous than water extraction. Therefore, we studied the E.
The present retrospective study describes the diagnostic workup and collected findings in 7 horses with chronic inflammatory bowel disease over the years 2000-2006. The diagnosis could be confirmed histologically with biopsies taken during laparoscopy or laparotomy or during post mortem examination.
BACKGROUND
Recurrent colic and unexplained weight loss despite good appetite and adequate feeding and management practices are common conditions in the horse. However, little information has been published on the systematic diagnostic evaluation, response to treatment, prognostic factors or outcome
We investigated the diagnostic significance of UDP-D-xylose : proteoglycan core protein beta-D-xylosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.26) in different chronic joint diseases. This enzyme is located almost exclusively within chondrocytes, where it initiates the formation of chondroitin sulphate during the
Increased small intestinal permeability caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is probably a prerequisite for NSAID enteropathy, a source of morbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This increased small intestinal permeability may be a summation of a local effect during
Dendrobium officinale stem is rich in polysaccharides, which play a great role in the medicinal effects of this plant. However, little was known about the polysaccharides from Dendrobium officinale leaves. Two kinds of polysaccharides in the leaves, DLP-1 and DLP-2, were obtained by hot water
Polysaccharides including β-glucans are important bioactive components of mushroom. Xylaria nigripes is a popular medicinal fungus that has been used for treating trauma, insomnia and mental illness. This study examined the physicochemical characteristics and anti-inflammatory activities of water
Fucogalactomannan (FGM) is a non-sulphated polysaccharide isolated from the Tylopilus ballouii mushroom. We investigated the chemical characteristics of this FGM using HPLC, chemical methods, and NMR studies ((1)H, (13)C, (1)H/(13)C-HSQC and DEPT-135 spectroscopies) without chemical fragmentation.
