Meanwhile, pectin polysaccharides from Lycium barbarum and raspberry notably improved the intestinal ecological imbalance in mice suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by enhancing immune organ parameters, repairing colon damage, reducing levels of TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-1β, alleviating oxidative stress, and boosting the overall production of SCFAs [12]. Here, TNF is linked to inflammatory bowel disease.
