Pomegranate seed oil alleviates colitis: Therapeutic effects achieved by modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation in a rat model.

Pomegranate seed oil shows positive effects by limiting neutrophil activation and lipid peroxidation through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study evaluated the possible ameliorative effects of pomegranate seed oil, its actions on proinflammatory cytokines, and its antioxidant activity using an acute acetic acid-induced colitis model in rats. 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups: control, colitis, 0.

Pomegranate seed oil mitigates liver and kidney damage in an experimental colitis model: Modulation of NF-κB activation and apoptosis.

Pomegranate seed oil, extracted from pomegranate seeds, is a slightly fragrant yellow oil with a mild odor. Pomegranate seed oil is the main source of punicic acid (conjugated linolenic acid). Punicic acid is a long-chain omega-5 polyunsaturated fatty acid and a conjugated α-linolenic acid molecule.
