In a study by Sánchez-Fidalgo et al. (2010), the implementation of a diet rich in resveratrol (20 mg/kg) in a dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis model was able to reduce the concentration of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-1β, as well as increase levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10. This evidence concerns the gene IL1B and colitis.
