Dextran sulfate sodium salt is widely used to construct the IBD animal model. It has been assumed in most former researches that DSS induces epithelial damage mainly in the colon and pathological change in the small intestine is ignored (Elsheikh et al., 2012; Kim et al., 2012). In this research, however, it was observed that DSS induced damage ...

Descriptions. Iron dextran is an iron replacement product that is used to treat iron deficiency, such as anemia (not enough iron in the blood) or blood loss in patients with certain conditions (eg, hemophilia, gastrointestinal bleeding). Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells. When the body does not get enough iron, it ...
High-voltage LiCoO 2 is an attractive cathode for ultra-high energy lithium-ion batteries in the 5G era. However, the practical application of LiCoO 2 is largely hindered by the unstable structure under high voltage. Herein, dextran sulfate lithium (DSL) is used as a versatile binder to improve the cycling stability of LiCoO 2 at 4.6 V. A coulombic …
Dextran sulfate is a natural, nontoxic, hydrophilic, biodegradable, and negatively charged polysaccharide that can be cross-linked with the positively charged …
In an IBD animal model, the oral administration of polysaccharides such as dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis, which exhibited several clinical and histological features similar to IBD. However, pathogenic factors in the development of colitis remain unclear, as do the chemical properties of DSS. Therefore, we investigated the ...

Dextran sulphate has pharmacological actions similar to that of heparin, but dextran exhibits much prolonged and cumulative anticoagulant effect. A clinical study reported that certain toxic effects have been observed following the treatment with dextran to 15 patients for 3 months at a total dose of 90,000 or more units. The commonest side ...
Low-molecular-weight dextran sulfate (DS) is a sulfated semisynthetic polysaccharide with demonstrated cytoprotective and immunomodulatory properties in vitro.
