Mechanism

Effect

AMI et al. [18]

Oxidative stress, inflammation, and proliferation

Decreased intestinal MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, TGF-β1, MPO, MIP-2; increased intestinal EP3, IL-1Ra, PCNA

Chang et al. [4]

Oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and proliferation

Decreased intestinal NOX-1, NOX-2, TNF-α, MPO, NF-κB, MMP-9, iNOS, Bax, caspase-3, PCNA; increased intestinal NQO-1, GR, GPx, HO-1

Fukuda et al. [19]

Inflammation; intestinal barrier function

Decreased plasma IL-6; increased plasma IL-10

Gao et al. [20]

Oxidative stress

Decreased intestinal MDA; increased intestinal SOD

Geng et al. [21]

Inflammation, intestinal barrier function, and proliferation

Decreased intestinal NF-κB, serum TNF-α, IL-6; increased intestinal SDF-1, CXCR-4, EGF, EGFR

Jensena et al. [22]

Inflammation and tight junction

Decreased intestinal GCSF; increased claudin-1

Jensenb et al. [23]

Inflammation

Decreased intestinal IL-6, MIP-1α, MIP-2α, and IP-10

Jensen et al. [24]

Unclear

Improved histologic mucosal injury

Jiang et al. [25]

Intestinal barrier function

Decreased serum D-Lactate, urine Lactulose/Mannitol ratio, and incidence of enteric bacterial translocation

Jiang et al. [26]

Inflammation and proliferation

Decreased intestinal TNF-α, NF-κB; increased intestinal PCNA; induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2

Kong et al. [27]

Inflammation, intestinal barrier function, and pyroptosis

Seemed to decrease serum DAO, D-Lactate, IL-1β, intestinal IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6; seemed to inhibit pyroptosis (NLRP3/caspase-1/IL-18)

Inflammation, intestinal barrier function and tight junction

Decreased serum DAO, D-Lactate, TNF-α; increased ZO-1

Liu et al. [29]

Inflammation and apoptosis

Decreased intestinal MPO, TNF-α, IL-6; inhibited phosphorylation of NF-κB-p65, ERK, AKT; activated COX-2-PGE2 signaling

Markel et al. [30]

Inflammation

Decreased intestinal sALK-1, betacellulin, endothelin; increased intestinal Eotaxin, MIG, MCP-1, IP-10

Oliveira et al. [31]

Inflammation

Decreased intestinal polymorphonuclear inflammatory cells; improved histologic mucosal injury

Intestinal barrier function and tight junction

Decreased serum DAO, D-Lactate, TNF-α; increased ZO-1
