  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In zonulin transgenic mice, AT1001 prevented the DSS-induced increase in intestinal permeability in vivo.

    Summary
    Treatment with AT1001 prevented the DSS-induced increased IP both in vivo and ex vivo without changing zonulin gene expression and completely reverted morbidity and mortality in Ztm.
    2 context sentences
    Summary · context
    Zonulin transgenic Hp2 mice (Ztm) were subjected to dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) treatment for 7 days, followed by 4-7 days' recovery and compared to C57Bl/6 (wild-type (WT)) mice.
    Summary · context
    To mechanistically link zonulin-dependent impairment of small intestinal barrier function with clinical outcome, Ztm were treated with the zonulin inhibitor AT1001 added to drinking water in addition to DSS.

    In zonulin transgenic mice, AT1001 prevented the DSS-induced increase in intestinal permeability measured ex vivo.

    In plain wordsIn mice, AT1001 prevented the rise in intestinal permeability measured in removed tissue compared with DSS without AT1001.
