Calming the inflammatory storm: 4-methylcatechol ameliorates DSS-induced colitis by suppressing the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway
The natural polyphenol metabolite 4-methylcatechol (4-MC) has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, its effectiveness in ulcerative colitis (UC) and the molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of 4-MC in a dextran s...
