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.

Stromal regulation of the intestinal barrier
Mucosal Immunology, 2023 The intestinal barrier is a complex structure that allows the absorption of nutrients while ensuring protection against intestinal pathogens and balanced immunity. The development and maintenance of a functional intestinal barrier is a multifactorial process that is only partially understood.

PLK1 protects against sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction
Scientific Reports, 2018 Sepsis and sepsis-associated intestinal barrier dysfunction are common in intensive care units, with high mortality. The aim of this study is to investigate whether Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) ameliorates sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction in ...

Microbial Biomarkers of Intestinal Barrier Maturation in Preterm Infants [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Intestinal barrier immaturity, or “leaky gut,” is the proximate cause of susceptibility to necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonates. However, the impact of intestinal microbiota development on intestinal mucosal barrier maturation has not been ...

Intestinal Barrier and Permeability in Health, Obesity and NAFLD [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2021 The largest surface of the human body exposed to the external environment is the gut. At this level, the intestinal barrier includes luminal microbes, the mucin layer, gastrointestinal motility and secretion, enterocytes, immune cells, gut vascular ...

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.

Research Progress in Lactoferrin’s Role in Alleviating Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction [PDF]
Shipin KexueThe intestinal barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. When the intestinal mucosa is damaged, the tight junctions between intestinal cells are disrupted, and the intestinal flora becomes imbalanced, a variety of diseases can ...

Role of the Intestinal Microbiome, Intestinal Barrier and Psychobiotics in Depression [PDF]
Nutrients, 2021 The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the pathophysiology of depression. As determined, the microbiota influences the shaping and modulation of the functioning of the gut–brain axis. The intestinal microbiota has a significant impact on processes related to neurotransmitter synthesis, the myelination of neurons in the prefrontal cortex ...

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.

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.
