These disorders arise from genetic and environmental factors, and current treatments involve pharmacological therapy and dietary interventions. Disruption of the intestinal barrier leads to increased permeability, and its dysfunction is a key hallmark of IBD. Plant-derived bioactive compounds, particularly sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) from chicory, have been investigated for their potential to modulate inflammatory responses.(...)"engIntestinal inflammationBowel Diseasechicory rootscolonic metabolitestext
