METHODOLOGY: Ten male subjects (aged 18 to 55 years, with a body mass index ranging from 21 to 25 Kg/m2) with distal ulcerative colitis were treated with propionyl-L-carnitine enemas (6 g in 200 mL physiological solution) twice a day over 120 minutes each. All subjects had a disease activity index from 0 to 1. A clinical, laboratory, endoscopy and biopsy evaluation was performed at baseline and 14 days after treatment. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-2 concentration was measured. RESULTS: No side effects were reported by the entire patient population and the clinical conditions remained constant throughout the study period. The disease activity index improved significantly between the beginning and the end of the study in 80% of the patients. Histologic features (mucosal erosion, distortion of crypt architecture, inflammation and lamina propria gap) significantly improved in all treated patients. Serum interleukin-2 levels did not change significantly after propionyl-L-carnitine treatment (respectively: 14.7 +/- 15.8 before vs. 9.9 +/- 13.2 pg/mL), while tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels were undetectable both before and after propionyl-L-carnitine administration. CONCLUSIONS: The topical treatment with a new formulation containing propionyl-L-carnitine seems to be safe and effective in improving the histologic features in patients with inactive or mild ulcerative colitis, as an alternative to conventional therapy" ; prodottidellaricerca:prodottoDi modulo:ID2707 , istituto:CDS003 ; pubblicazioni:autoreCNR unitaDiPersonaleInterno:MATRICOLA4947 . ns11:ID416653 pubblicazioni:rivistaDi prodotto:ID7101 .
