Inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be induced if the immune system fails to ignore the resident gut microbiota and targets them instead. D-mannose, a common monosaccharide in nature, has been shown to ameliorate multiple autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of D-mannose on mice ulcerative colitis (UC) induced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS), and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>To simulate human IBD, we constructed a mouse model of UC by injecting TNBS into the colon.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results demonstrated that D-mannose treatment effectively alleviated TNBS-induced UC in mice, as evidenced by the amelioration of UC symptoms. D-mannose treatment significantly reduced inflammation by decreasing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammation mediators. D-mannose treatment also significantly inhibited oxidative stress, promoted the expression of GSH and SOD, decreased the expression of MDA.
