IL10 and enterocolitis: Given that information regarding potential health-beneficial effects of NAP in infectious intestinal morbidities are lacking to date, we assessed the anti-pathogenic, anti-apoptotic, cell-regenerative, and anti-inflammatory effects of the octapeptide in the intestinal tract (and beyond) following exogenous NAP application to secondary abiotic IL-10−/− mice suffering from acute C. jejuni induced enterocolitis in frame of our present preclinical intervention study.
