In another study, co-administration of fenugreek seeds (as symbiotic) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (as prebiotic) ameliorated colonic inflamma­tion in rats infected with Escherichia coli via improvement of intestinal mucosa adaptive immunity. Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of duodenum revealed an im­provement in intestinal lymphoid tissues, as well as increases in butyric acid produc­tion, goblet cell mucin secretion, and the immunoglobulin IgA from plasma cells (Bakheet, 2020).

such as vitamin E (Kaithwas et al., 2011; Kaithwas and Majumdar, 2013; Rafieian-Ko­paei et al., 2017). A recent study reported that daily gavage with flaxseed oil at a dose range of 400 to 1600mg/kg b.w. for 6 weeks improved colonic indices of colitis and allevi­ated DAI and colon cell damage in DSS-in­duced UC in rats. Linum usitatissimum oil consumption caused a significant reduction in colon inflammation and oxidative condi­tion through increase in GSH, CAT, and SOD, as well as decrease in MDA and MPO, and IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant pro­tein-1 (MCP-1) levels. Flaxseed oil enhanced microbiota diversity and restored cecal microbiota dysbiosis in DSS-induced colitis (Zhou etal., 2020). In Palla etal.’s study, vari­ous concentrations of the hydromethanolic
Linum usitatissimum L.
extract of flaxseed were tested against acetic
acid-induced colitis in mice. The plant at 300 Linseed or flaxseed is a rich source of useful fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids such as n-6/n-3, α-linoleic acid, lignans, dietary and protein fiber, minerals, and vitamins
and 500 mg/kg b.w. improved the severity
of colitis, DAI, macroscopic and histologic
damage scores. Flaxseed supplementation
reduced the activities of MPO and MDA,

while inducing SOD, GPx, CAT, and total GSH. L. usitatissimum suppressed the im­mune response and neutrophil infiltration by hampering TNF-α and IFN-γ levels and increasing IL-17 levels (Palla et al., 2016). The same group compared the power of the hydromethanolic extracts of flaxseed and flaxseed oil to ameliorate acetic acid-induced colitis in mice. It was shown that both flax­seed oil and its crude extract are favorable to manage IBD by means of anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antispasmodic activities. However, their mechanisms of actions are different. For instance, flaxseed extract was more effective in reducing mortality and im­provement of colonic ulcers than flaxseed oil at 500 mg/kg; while the oil exhibited higher anti-inflammatory effect. Antispasmodic and anticholinergic activities of the crude ex­tract (0.03 and 0.1 mg/ml) were greater than for flaxseed oil (1 and 3 mg/ml). Flaxseed oil (9 and 14 μg/ml) has shown antibacterial ac- tivity against enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), and enteroag­gregative E. coli (EAEC); whereas the crude extract was effective against EPEC at 100 μg/ml (Palla etal., 2020).
In a study by Silva, the influence of the hydrolysis with Alcalase® and simulated GI digestion on the antioxidant capacity of dif­ferent flaxseed products and their protect­ive effects on 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis in mice were as­sessed. Flaxseed protein hydrolysates and phenolic fractions inhibited NO and TNF-α secretion in stimulated macrophage RAW cells and also reduced ROS production, weight loss, systemic indicators of colonic mucosal damage and inflammation, Th1 and Th17 responses, T-cell proliferation, and inflammatory cytokine levels (Silva,
2016). An Iranian traditional herbal formula called “Magliasa”, containing 8% w/w L. usi- tatissimum seeds, remarkably attenuated co­lonic histopathologic and macroscopic scores of colitis in TNBS-induced UC in rats. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, MPO, and lipid peroxidation (LPO) were significantly lower in Magliasa-treated animals. It is noticeable that Magliasa at any dose could not increase the antioxidant capacity (Rahimi etal ., 2013). Together, flaxseed extract ameliorates the
severity of colitis by scavenging oxygen­derived free radicals and suppression of in­testinal inflammation, thereby it may be a new approach for immunotherapy in IBD.
Althaea officinalis L.
Marshmallow is a rich source of acidic poly­saccharides, starch, pectins, mucilage, and flavonoids with significant antioxidant and soothing properties (Capek et al., 1987; Gudej, 1991; Sendker etal., 2017). A recent in vitro study reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of the root ex­tracts of Althaea officinalis. The plant was able to protect human macrophages against hydrogen peroxide (H icity and H2O2-induced ROS production.
)-induced cytotox-
2O2
A. officinalis inhibited the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of TNF-α and IL-6 in macrophages, additionally improving the migratory capacity of macrophages (Bona­terra et al., 2020). Oral administration of A. officinalis extract, once daily for 14 days, led to a protective effect against pyloric­ligation/indomethacin-induced gastric ul­ceration in rats, probably via its antioxidant properties, inhibition of histamine and gastrin release, suppression of formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-1β, and promotion of mucin, NO, prosta­glandin E2 (PGE2) and prostaglandin I (PGI2) contents. The expression of the pro-
2
tective heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and cys­tathionine β-synthase (CBS) enzymes in gastric mucosal tissue was also increased (Zaghlool etal., 2019). The potential role of the aqueous extract of A. officinalis flower in gastric ulcer, inflammation, and platelet aggregation was the subject of another re­search in a rat model. A. officinalis at doses of 50, 100, and 250 mg/kg b.w. exhibited anti­ulcerogenic, as well as acute and chronic anti-inflammatory effects. Inhibition of platelet aggregation was observed at 500 μg/ml concentration (Hage-Sleiman et al.,
2011). In accordance, Zaghlool etal. (2015) found that administration of the aqueous extract of marshmallow flower (100 mg/kg b.w., orally for 14 days) could protect against
