Anti-inflammatory activity of Alpinia officinarum hance on rat colon inflammation and tissue damage in DSS induced acute and chronic colitis models by Vijayabharathi Rajendiran, Vidhya Natarajan, Sivasithamparam Niranjali Devaraj

“…DSS induction exhibited colon shrinkage, increased the Disease Activity Index (DAI) score, increased the levels of inflammatory markers and caused severe anemia. DSS induced animals, co-treated with the hexane extract of Alpinia officinarum (HEAO) (200 mg/kg body wt), effectively suppressed colonic injury that was evidenced by the reduced DAI score, colon weight/length ratio, histological damage, proinflammatory markers and MPO activity. …”
