Other studies indicate that OME has antiapoptotic activity in the gastric and intestinal tissues, showing reduction of lesions through antioxidant processes and anti-inflammatory activity through expression of Ntrk2 gene (inductor/inhibitor of cell proliferation) [97] and reduction of protein Egr1, which influences the increase of protein p53 [98]. This evidence concerns the gene NTRK2 and otitis media with effusion.
