Uridine Ameliorates Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS)-Induced Colitis in Mice

Abstract Uridine, one of the four components that comprise RNA, has attracted attention as a novel therapeutic modulator of inflammation. However, very little is known about its effect on intestinal inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential protective effect of intr...
