The positive results were recapitulated in another rodent study, whereby treatment with sterically stabilized phospholipid micelles coated with GLP-1 (GLP-1-SSM) (15 nmol/100 μL) for one week ameliorated 3% DSS-induced colitis in C57BL/6J mice, by partially attenuating body weight loss, improving stool consistency and alleviating histological changes [49]. The gene discussed is GCG; the disease is colitis.
