Emu Oil and protection from experimentally-induced ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease

炎症性肠病（IBD），包括溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩病，是一种病因不明的慢性肠道炎症性疾病。目前对IBD的治疗是非常有效的，突出了对改进治疗方法的需求。据报道，鸸鹋油具有有效的抗炎和抗氧化作用。使用完善的实验模型，我们试图确定鸸鹋油在急性和慢性IBD中的潜在功效和潜在机制。

The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, are chronic intestinal inflammatory disorders of unknown cause. Current treatments for IBD are variably effective highlighting the need for improved therapeutic approaches. Emu Oil is reported to exert potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Using well established experimental models, we seek to determine the potential efficacy and underlying mechanism of Emu Oil action in acute and chronic IBD.
