Abstract:
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are now widely receiving attention. There are many reasons why people get IBD; for example, environment, smoking, family heredity, intestinal microbiota and so on. Antibiotics have not been proven effective and those suffering from IBD have begun to look for other effective drugs to treat the chronic disease. Bioactive peptides are a good candidate among alternative drugs tested so far, and have been seen to control bodily growth, development, immune regulation and metabolism. This paper will review the literature describing the effects of bioactive peptides on intestinal inflammation. Studies conducted using in vivo models and clinical trials provide evidence that bioactive peptides can be effective in mitigating intestinal inflammation.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...
