Gut Barrier and Microbiota in Cirrhosis [PDF]
Gut microbiota and their homeostatic functions are central to the maintenance of the intestinal mucosal barrier. The gut barrier functions as a structural, biological, and immunological barrier, preventing local and systemic invasion and inflammation of pathogenic taxa, resulting in the propagation or causation of organ-specific (liver disease) or ...

Bovine colostrum is a health food supplement which prevents NSAID induced gut damage [PDF]
BACKGROUNDNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective for arthritis but cause gastrointestinal injury. Bovine colostrum is a rich source of growth factors and is marketed as a health food supplement.AIMSTo examine whether spray dried ...

Gut barrier function in malnourished patients [PDF]
Background —The integrity of the gastrointestinal mucosa is a key element in preventing systemic absorption of enteric toxins and bacteria. In the critically ill, breakdown of gut barrier function may fuel sepsis.

Using patient-derived organoids the authors show how a specialized polarity pathway protects our gut barrier from stress-induced collapse. Findings highlight both diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the pathway for treating gut barrier dysfunction in

Th17 Cytokines and the Gut Mucosal Barrier [PDF]
Local immune responses serve to contain infections by pathogens to the gut while preventing pathogen dissemination to systemic sites. Several subsets of T cells in the gut (T-helper 17 cells, gammadelta T cells, natural killer (NK), and NK-T cells) contribute to the mucosal response to pathogens by secreting a subset of cytokines including interleukin (

Dietary calcium decreases but short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides increase colonic permeability in rats [PDF]
An increased intestinal permeability is associated with several diseases. Nutrition can influence gut permeability. Previously, we showed that dietary Ca decreases whereas dietary short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (scFOS) increase intestinal ...

Metabolic adaptation to a high-fat diet is associated with a change in the gut microbiota [PDF]
Objective The gut microbiota, which is considered a causal factor in metabolic diseases as shown best in animals, is under the dual influence of the host genome and nutritional environment. This study investigated whether the gut microbiota per se, aside

Gut barrier function and the surgeon
Abstract There is accumulating evidence that multiple organ failure is not always the result of an established septic focus. Increasing attention has centred on the gut as a reservoir of bacteria (and bacterial endotoxins) that can traverse the intestinal mucosal barrier (a process called ‘bacterial translocation’) and initiate the ...
