Ketotifen effectively prevents mucosal damage in experimental colitis.
The effects of ketotifen, a 'mast cell stabiliser,' on two models of experimental colitis were examined. The inflammatory response elicited by either trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid or acetic acid resulted in increased colonic synthesis of platelet activating factor, prostaglandin E2, thromboxane B2, leukotrienes B4 and C4, and myeloperoxidase activity. Intragastric administration of ketotifen 1...
متن کاملA stable nitroxide radical effectively decreases mucosal damage in experimental colitis.
TEMPOL, a cyclic nitroxide stable radical blocks biological damage by breaking chain reactions through termination reaction with free radicals, and by inhibiting the catalytic effect of transition metals. This study tested its protective effect on two models of experimental colitis as free radicals play an important part in their pathogenesis. TEMPOL was given intragastrically immediately after...

Background: Curcumin, a major constituent of tumeric powder, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory effect but the studies of its effects on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-induced gastropathy are still
متن کاملFactor XIII Transglutaminase Supports the Resolution of Mucosal Damage in Experimental Colitis
The thrombin-activated transglutaminase factor XIII (FXIII) that covalently crosslinks and stablizes provisional fibrin matrices is also thought to support endothelial and epithelial barrier function and to control inflammatory processes. Here, gene-targeted mice lacking the FXIII catalytic A subunit were employed to directly test the hypothesis that FXIII limits colonic pathologies associated ...
متن کاملMucosal damage mediated by clostridial toxin in experimental clindamycin-associated colitis.
A toxin produced by Clostridium difficile has been implicated in the pathogenesis of antibiotic-associated colitis in humans and experimental animals. This study was undertaken in order to define the sequential evolution of caecal mucosal lesions in the hamster and to relate those lesions directly to the clostridial toxin. Sterile filtrates from a culture of C. difficile and from caecal content...
