Chemoprevention with a tea from hawthorn ( Crataegus oxyacantha) leaves and flowers attenuates colitis in rats by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of a tea from the leaves and flowers of Crataegus oxyacantha in rats with colitis. Colitis was induced by administration of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. Hawthorn tea (HT) (100 mg/kg) was given via gavage for 21 days and the mesalamine drug (100 mg/kg) was administrated during the period…

muc2 antibody, The effect of glycosylation on the antibody recognition of a MUC2 mucin epitope.

The effect of glycosylation on the antibody recognition of a MUC2 mucin epitope.

MUC2 glycoprotein, produced by the epithelium of the colon and constructed up primarily of repeat items of (1) PTTTPITTTTTVTPTPTPTGTQT(23) , could be overexpressed or underglycosylated in gastrointestinal illnesses, e.g. in case of colon carcinoma. We have now been finding out the epitope construction of the MUC2 by specializing in the repeat unit with the mucin…
