ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate the effect of luteolin on ulcerative colitis in experimental animals.METHODS:
The mouse model of acute colitis was induced by instillation of dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) /alcohol. Luteolin (1, 10 and 50 mg?kg~(-1)) were orally administrated to mice for 3 days. Diarrheas, colon weight index, macroscopic damage in the colon were observed and the activity of MPO and the content of PGE_2 in colon were also examined.RESULTS:
The diarrhea and the colon weight in- dex were reduced and the macroscopic damage in the inflammatory colon was effectively attenuated by luteolin. The elevated level of MPO and PGE2 were also significantly decreased.CONCLUSION:
Luteolin can effectively inhibit the inflammatory infiltration, bleeding and proliferation in experimental ulcerative colitis.
