Suppression of intestinal inflammation and inflammation-driven colon cancer in mice by dietary sphingomyelin: Importance of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ expression

Sphingolipid metabolites play a role in the initiation and perpetuation of inflammatory responses. Since intestinal inflammation is a driving force in the development of colon cancer, in the present study, we investigated the suppression of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis by dietary sp...
