Abstract

The role of the mitochondria, particularly its implications in cellular redox and oxidative balance is important for cell survival, and is involved in a variety of human diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this review we address mitochondria physiology and reactive oxygen species as cognate to IBD. Several studies have reported altered mitochondria function in intestinal epithelium in IBD. However, mitochondrion significance in this disease has not been much investigated. Finally, we suggest potential for antioxidants targeted to mitochondria in IBD therapy as a treatment strategy.
