Mechanisms Underlying the Therapeutic Efficacy of Exclusive Enteral Nutrition in Crohn's Disease

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by recurrent transmural inflammation in the colon or/and ileum. Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN), involving oral or nasogastric tube feeding of a complete liquid diet with exclusion of normal foods, is a safe and effective treatment for active CD. However, what accounts for the benefits of EEN in CD are not clear. Our project aims to investigate the mechanisms of the benefits of EEN.
