Effects of orally administered bovine lactoperoxidase on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice

The effect of lactoperoxidase (LPO) on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis was examined in mice. After 9 d of colitis induction, weight loss, colon shortening and the histological score were significantly suppressed in mice orally administered LPO (62.5 mg/body/d) as compared to a group administe...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of lactoperoxidase (LPO) on dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis was examined in mice. After 9 d of colitis induction, weight loss, colon shortening and the histological score were significantly suppressed in mice orally administered LPO (62.5 mg/body/d) as compared to a group administered bovine serum albumin. These results suggest that LPO exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in the gastrointestinal tract.
