## Background: Apoa-iv, an apolipoprotein (apo) with antioxidant, antiatherogenic, and antiinflammatory properties, was recently demonstrated to inhibit dextran sulfate sodium (dss)-induced experimental colitis in mice. we therefore hypothesized that apoa-iv may be associated with disease activity
Stress indices are wifely available but few have been validated or used for monitoring clinical disease activity in chronic inflammatory disorders. One hundred twenty-three outpatients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) participated in this prospective investigation. Stress events (major events,
