Inflammation and malnutrition in inflammatory bowel disease

Dietary composition of adult eosinophilic esophagitis patients is related to disease severity

“…We assessed BMI but did not determine vitamin and mineral status in patients. Malnutrition in chronic disease, such as allergic disease and Irritable Bowel Disease, promotes inflammation and vice versa, 58,59 in which iron is playing a key role 60 . Malnutrition in EoE patients, specifically vitamin D deficiency, has been reported, although data are limited 61,62 .…”

d-Mannose promotes recovery from experimental colitis by inducing AMPK phosphorylation to stimulate epithelial repair

“…Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease, is one of the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 1,2 This condition is typically characterized by diffuse mucosal inflammation, usually affecting the colon and rectum. Although the exact etiology of UC is yet to be fully understood, it is widely accepted that multiple factors including genetic susceptibility, environmental factors and immune dysregulation are involved in the etiopathogenesis of this disease.…”

Orally-administered nanomedicine systems targeting colon inflammation for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease: latest advances

“…IBD is a chronic and complex condition that causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to conditions such as ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). 1 In North America and Europe, more than 1.5 million and 2 million people, respectively, have been diagnosed with IBD since the turn of the century. The incidence of IBD is also rapidly increasing in Asia, including in China, India, and other underdeveloped regions.…”
