Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. Glycyrrhiza pallidiflora polysaccharide (GPP) is an important constituent of a species of Glycyrrhiza pallidiflora, but its therapeutic mechanism in UC mice is not clear. A dextran sulphate sodium salt (DSS)-induced mouse model of UC was established, and GPP was extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction, optimised to a GPP content of 25.66% by one-factor optimisation. The effects of different doses (100, 200, 300 mg/kg) of GPP on UC were investigated. The results showed that GPP could delay the trend of weight loss, reduce the DAI score and decrease colon damage in mice, and GPP had a better ameliorative effect on enteritis, which provided a theoretical basis for studying the effect of natural products on UC.
期刊介绍:
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics (CBB) aims to publish papers on the nature of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms underlying the structure, control and function of cellular systems
The reports should be within the framework of modern biochemistry and chemistry, biophysics and cell physiology, physics and engineering, molecular and structural biology. The relationship between molecular structure and function under investigation is emphasized.
Examples of subject areas that CBB publishes are:
· biochemical and biophysical aspects of cell structure and function;
· interactions of cells and their molecular/macromolecular constituents;
· innovative developments in genetic and biomolecular engineering;
· computer-based analysis of tissues, cells, cell networks, organelles, and molecular/macromolecular assemblies;
· photometric, spectroscopic, microscopic, mechanical, and electrical methodologies/techniques in analytical cytology, cytometry and innovative instrument design
For articles that focus on computational aspects, authors should be clear about which docking and molecular dynamics algorithms or software packages are being used as well as details on the system parameterization, simulations conditions etc. In addition, docking calculations (virtual screening, QSAR, etc.) should be validated either by experimental studies or one or more reliable theoretical cross-validation methods.
