The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between serum ghrelin and obestatin levels and disease activity in UC patients. METHODS The serum ghrelin and obestatin levels were measured in 21 UC patients (12 with active dise...

متن کاملShort term effects of ginger on quality of life, disease activity index, inflammatory and oxidative stress factors in ulcerative colitis
Background: Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are the two essential factors determining ulcerative colitis (UC) onset and severity status. In present study, we aimed to investigate short-term effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale) as a well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent on the quality of life, disease activity index and some of inflammatory and oxidative stress factors ...
