Intraperitoneal supplementation of iron alleviates dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis by enhancing intestinal barrier function

Iron supplementation is necessary for the treatment of anemia, one of the most frequent complications in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, oral iron supplementation leads to an exacerbation of intestinal inflammation. Gut barrier plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IBD. The aim of this...
