Pathophysiology of the gut–eye axis in a Sjögren's disease‐like dry eye mouse model: An exploratory evaluation of dietary heat‐treated Enterococcus faecalis FK‐23

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by severe dry eye, but its pathophysiology remains unclear. Non‐obese diabetic (NOD) mice develop Sjögren's disease‐like dry eye prior to the onset of diabetes. Although intestinal immune abnormalities precede diabetes in NOD mice, their relationship to dry eye remains poorly understood.
