Coix Seed Oil Alleviates DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis via Intestinal Barrier Repair and Ferroptosis Regulation.

Background: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic intestinal disease linked to intestinal barrier damage, ferroptosis and dysbiosis. is a natural food with food-medicine homology, whose seed-derived oil (Coix seed oil, CSO) has been shown anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. Here, the effects and mechanisms of CSO on ulcerative colitis (UC) in vivo are systematically investigated.
