The potential of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) in detecting early colonic inflammation and assessing the effect of various dietary fatty acids on modulation of inflammatory bowel disease in an animal model

The objectives of our study were to determine the potential of 1H MRS in detecting (1) early colonic inflammation, (2) effects of various fatty acids on normal colon and (3) their effects on IBD. Sprague dawley rat fed with 2% carrageenan was used as a model of IBD. Flaxseed oil served as ω-3, corn...
