Research Abstract |
Amino acids in Elental[○!R] directly suppress intestinal inflammation in IL-10 transfer colitis models. Especially, L-histidine suppressed NFkB activation and significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by macrophages. In human IBD, plasma amino acids profiles were dramatically changed. Plasma histidine concentration was decreased in active IBD patients and showed inverted correlation with serum CRP. Furthermore, the computer analysis of plasma amino acids profiles developed the AminoIndex[○!R] that is a parameter for diagnosis and assessment of disease activity in IBD.
