壳寡糖的制备及其对2,4,6-三硝基苯磺酸诱导的大鼠结肠炎模型的治疗作用研究壳寡糖的制备及其对2,4,6-三硝基苯磺酸诱导的大鼠结肠炎模型的治疗作用研究

摘要：

本研究旨在制备壳寡糖，并研究其对2,4,6-三硝基苯磺酸（TNBS）诱导的大鼠结肠炎模型的治疗作用。利用壳寡糖与盐酸的反应制备壳寡糖，通过核磁共振波谱（NMR）验证壳寡糖的纯度和结构；采用大鼠结肠炎模型评估壳寡糖的治疗效果，包括体重变化、炎症指标、肠道组织特征等方面。结果显示，制备的壳寡糖的平均分子量为2.5kDa，NMR数据表明获得了纯度较高的壳寡糖。在TNBS诱导的大鼠结肠炎模型中，壳寡糖处理组表现出较小的体重损失，降低了肠道炎症指标（如白细胞计数和C反应蛋白水平），并能减轻肠道分泌和组织损伤。这些结果表明，壳寡糖具有潜在的治疗作用，可以作为治疗肠道炎症的新药。
