Intestinal Barrier, Claudins and Mycotoxins [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 The intestinal barrier is the main barrier against all of the substances that enter the body. Proper functioning of this barrier guarantees maintained balance in the organism. Mycotoxins are toxic, secondary fungi metabolites, that have a negative impact both on human and animal health.

Intestinal Barrier Permeability in Allergic Diseases
Nutrients, 2022 The role of intestinal permeability (IP) markers among children and adults with food allergies is not fully understood, and the identification of biological indicators/markers that predict growth retardation in children with allergic diseases and atopy has not been well explained. Studies have shown that patients with atopic diseases respond abnormally

Carotenoid metabolism at the intestinal barrier [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2020 Carotenoids exert a rich variety of physiological functions in mammals and are beneficial for human health. These lipids are acquired from the diet and metabolized to apocarotenoids, including retinoids (vitamin A and its metabolites). The small intestine is a major site for their absorption and bioconversion.

A bioactive bovine whey protein extract improves intestinal barrier function in vitro
JDS Communications, 2022 The human intestine plays an important role as a barrier against the ingress of pathogens and other harmful antigens. Accordingly, proper regulation of the intestinal barrier is essential for optimal health.

Enteroendocrine cells regulate intestinal barrier permeability. [PDF]
Am J Physiol Cell PhysiolABSTRACTThe intestinal epithelial barrier is essential for nutrient absorption and protection against ingested pathogens and foreign substances. Barrier integrity is maintained by tight junctions which are sensitive to inflammatory signals, thus creating a feed-forward loop with an increasingly permeable barrier that further drives inflammation and is ...

Helminths and intestinal barrier function [PDF]
Tissue Barriers, 2017 Approximately one-sixth of the worlds' population is infected with helminths and this class of parasite takes a major toll on domestic livestock. The majority of species of parasitic helminth that infect mammals live in the gut (the only niche for tapeworms) where they contact the hosts' epithelial cells.

Nutritional Keys for Intestinal Barrier Modulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2015 The intestinal tract represents the largest interface between the external environment and the human body. Nutrient uptake mostly happens in the intestinal tract, where the epithelial surface is constantly exposed to dietary antigens. Since inflammatory response toward these antigens may be deleterious for the host, a plethora of protective mechanisms ...

Intestinal Barrier in Human Health and Disease [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The intestinal mucosa provides a selective permeable barrier for nutrient absorption and protection from external factors. It consists of epithelial cells, immune cells and their secretions. The gut microbiota participates in regulating the integrity and function of the intestinal barrier in a homeostatic balance.
