Dual Role of Endogenous Serotonin in 2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid-Induced Colitis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Changes in gut serotonin (5-HT) content have been described in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and in different experimental models of colitis: the critical role of this monoamine in the pathogenesis of chronic gastrointestinal inflammation is gradually emerging. Aim of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of endogenous 5-HT through the activation of its speci...
متن کاملProtective effect of royal jelly in 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis in rats
Objective(s):In the present study, we evaluated immunological and immunomodulatory properties of royal jelly (RJ) in 2,4,6 trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighteen adult female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups of six animals each: a control group that received only saline solution, a TNBS-induced colitis group, and a TNBS-co...
متن کاملRole of serotonin in intestinal inflammation: knockout of serotonin reuptake transporter exacerbates 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid colitis in mice.
Serotonin (5-HT) regulates peristaltic and secretory reflexes in the gut. The serotonin reuptake transporter (SERT; SLC6A4), which inactivates 5-HT, is expressed in the intestinal mucosa and the enteric nervous system. Stool water content is increased and colonic motility is irregular in mice with a targeted deletion of SERT. We tested the hypotheses that 5-HT plays a role in regulating intesti...
متن کاملProtective role of heme oxygenase-1 on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced colitis in rats.
Preliminary studies showed that the inducible form of heme oxygenase (HO-1) was induced and played a protective role in the process of inflammation. The present study investigated the possible role of HO-1 in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in rats. We measured HO-1 activity in TNBS-induced colitis in rats and analyzed the severity of colitis along with altered HO act...
متن کاملAlpha-lipoic acid attenuates trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in mice.
Ulcerative colitis (UC), characterized by inflammation, oxidative stress, and increased intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis, is an immunologically mediated chronic intestinal disorder. The present study was aimed at investigating the protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) against trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced UC and the underlying mechanism. ALA of 80 mg/kg bw/day was adm...
