APN analogues or AdipoRon which is a dual agonist of AdipoR1/2 potentially reduces colonic fibrosis in UC and fistulae in CD, promotes mucosal healing, repairs intestinal microbiota homeostasis and increases autophagy to alleviate IBD symptoms by weakening TNF-α, IL-6, NLRP3, TGFB1 activities and aggrandizing P-AKT, PPARA, PPARG, INS, IRS1/2, IGF-1, TIMP1, NOD2, SIRT1 levels. This evidence concerns the gene INS and inflammatory bowel disease.
