p-Hydroxybenzoic acid alleviates inflammatory responses and intestinal mucosal damage in DSS-induced colitis by activating ERβ signaling
p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (HD), the main active component of Nostoc commune, has been shown to attenuate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis. However, it is still unclear whether HD or its metabolites exert a protective role in ulcerative colitis (UC). In this study, we showed that...

p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (HD), the main active component of Nostoc commune, has been shown to attenuate dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced experimental colitis.
