Anti-inflammatory effect of pregabalin on acetic acid-induced colitis in the rats
Background and purpose: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disease characterized by the inflammation of the intestine. The available medicinal treatments for IBD are not efficacious enough since they exert various adverse effects. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic...

Experimental approach: Using 2 mL of 3% acetic acid solution, colitis was intra-rectally induced in rats.
