In a 2023 animal and laboratory study, researchers suggested that GLP-1 medications could have the following benefits for people with UC: lowering the levels of proinflammatory mediators chemicals that cause inflammation preventing certain important proteins and pathways in the body from becoming overactive, which can contribute to UC repairing damage to the inner lining of the intestines improving the balance of good bacteria in the gut The researchers suggested that GLP-1 medications may be a promising future treatment for UC
In this study, the antibacterial properties of synthetic cholic acid derivatives ceragenins CSA-13, CSA-44 and CSA-131, custom-synthesized peptides human cathelicidin LL-37 peptide, synthetic WLBU2 peptide, and antimicrobial VFR12 peptide of human thrombin origin were evaluated to determine their potentials as therapeutic agents for bloodstream infections
