but acetic acid may be causes chronic damage so mortality may also increases.... i m starts my oxazolone induced model from tomorrow... And which parameters are you goin to measure????
Chirag m going to measure disease activity index, microscopic examination , histopathological examination n if tym permits go for myloperoxidase activity...and wat abt u?????
you can go for DLC and check the number of neutrophils relative percentage so that it can be correlated with the myeloperoxidase estimated in the intestine
There are many different animal models of IBD, which they are valuable and necessary tools to provide further options for investigating factors of IBD pathogenesis and to evaluate different therapeutic solutions. Dextran Sodium Sulphate (DSS)-Induced colitis model has some advantages in comparison with others ex: Simplicity, similarity of human IBD and acute, chronic or relapsing model which can produce easily by changing the concentration of DSS and cycles in mice and rats.
There different ways, depending on the model. In rabbit, typically by immuno-complex administration IV and formalin instillation in the colon-rectum by anal route. In mice and rats by Trinitrobenzen silfonic acid instillatoon in the rectum-colon, etc....
