mortality/aging
• in DSS-treated mice
|
digestive/alimentary system
• in the colon of DSS-treated mice
|
• the colons of the DSS-treated mice exhibit loss of crypt architecture, a denuded epithelial layer, and prominent inflammatory infiltrates compared with wild-type mice
|
• in DSS-treated mice
|
• DSS-treated mice exhibit severe muscle wasting, increased weight loss, decreased creatine levels in intestinal epithelium, increased intestinal epithelium permeability, increased colon shortening, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, excessive cell death in the colon and increased mortality compared with wild-type mice
• however, supplementation with creatine reverses muscle wasting and restores body weight while not ameliorating normal DSS-induced colitis
