Gastric and intestinal barrier impairment in tropical enteropathy and HIV: limited impact of micronutrient supplementation during a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
, 2010 Background Although micronutrient supplementation can reduce morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoea, nutritional influences on intestinal host defence are poorly understood.

Gut microbiome, endocrine control of gut barrier function and metabolic diseases [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2021 Overweight and obesity are associated with several cardiometabolic risk factors, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, low-grade inflammation and liver diseases. The gut microbiota is a potential contributing factor regulating energy balance.

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 Age-related gut barrier dysfunction and dysbiosis of the gut microbiome play crucial roles in human aging. Dietary methionine restriction (MR) has been reported to extend lifespan and reduce the inflammatory response; however, its protective effects on ...

The Gut Immune Barrier and the Blood-Brain Barrier: Are They So Different? [PDF]
Immunity, 2009 In order to protect itself from a diverse set of environmental pathogens and toxins, the body has developed a number of barrier mechanisms to limit the entry of potential hazards. Here, we compare two such barriers: the gut immune barrier, which is the primary barrier against pathogens and toxins ingested in food, and the blood-brain barrier, which ...

Viruses, 2021 People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) have reduced gut barrier integrity (“leaky gut”) that permits diffusion of microbial antigens (microbial translocation) such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the circulation, stimulating inflammation ...

The Microbiota–Gut–Brain Axis and Diabetic Cognitive Impairment: A Memorable Journey
Clinical Diabetology, 2023 OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with complications affecting the quality of life. Interestingly, the gut microbiota is closely related to glucose metabolism. This narrative review introduces the characteristics of the gut microbiota in DM,

Crossing barriers: infections of the lung and the gut [PDF]
Mucosal Immunology, 2009 Although known as respiratory pathogens, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and its sister coronaviruses frequently cause enteric symptoms. In addition, other classically non-enteric viruses (such as HIV and influenza) may also have enteric effects that are crucial in their pathogeneses.

Ex vivo intestinal permeability assay (X-IPA) for tracking barrier function dynamics
npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, 2023 The intestinal epithelial barrier facilitates homeostatic host–microbiota interactions and immunological tolerance. However, mechanistic dissections of barrier dynamics following luminal stimulation pose a substantial challenge.

Role of Gut Barrier Function in the Pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Gastroenterology Research and Practice, 2015 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common forms of chronic liver disease, and its incidence is increasing year by year. Many efforts have been made to investigate the pathogenesis of this disease.
