IL17A and Chronic colitis: Molecular docking results demonstrated stable binding between the three metabolites and target proteins primarily through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, with ursodeoxycholic acid exhibiting the highest binding affinity.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Collectively, these findings suggest that oats and oat bran may alleviate chronic colitis by modulating the IL-17 signaling pathway and enhancing intestinal barrier function.
