Immunologically mediated enteropathies consist of a group of different disease that is characterized by varying degree of villous destruction in the small intestine. Examples of these diseases are celiac disease and food allergy (Marsh, 1996 and Westerholm -Ormio, 2004). Food allergy is treated in human and experimental animals by using either omega-3 (Nagafuchi, et al., 2000; Nagura, et al., 2002; and Takano et al., 2004 ) or dexamethasone (Krishnaswamy, et al., 2001; Sampson, 2003 and Kamingawa and Nanno, 2004).
The aim of this work is to induce OVA food allergy and to study their pathogenesis, gross and microscopic changes and try to treat the induced condition by using omega-3 fatty acids and dexamethasone. متابعة قراءة Experimental Induction of Local and Systemic Food Allergy Using Ovalbumin in Rats: Pathology and Treatment by Glucocorticoids and Omega-3 Fatty Acids →
