10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), a bioactive compound in royal jelly, has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study investigates whether 10-HDA alleviates cognitive impairment caused by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced chronic colitis, focusing on IFITM3, an immune regulator linked to intestinal and neuroinflammation. DSS treatment increased IFITM3 in the colon and hippocampus, resulting in neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits. 10-HDA reduced colonic inflammation, suppressed IFITM3-mediated NF-κB activation, improved cognitive performance, and attenuated astrocyte reactivity. IFITM3 knockout mice showed less colitis and neuroinflammation, and 10-HDA's effects were diminished in these mice, suggesting an IFITM3-related mechanism. These results suggest 10-HDA as a potential dietary agent for gut-brain axis health in chronic 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.
