Intestinal Barrier, Claudins and Mycotoxins [PDF]
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

Pharmacological Targeting of the Inflamed Intestinal Barrier
The intestinal epithelium serves as an important barrier between luminal contents and underlying tissue compartments. Barrier properties are established and maintained by the multiprotein complexes in the tight junction (TJ), adherens junction (AJ) and ...

Adenosine in Intestinal Epithelial Barrier Function
At the intestinal front, several lines of defense are in place to resist infection and injury, the mucus layer, gut microbiome and strong epithelial junctions, to name a few. Their collaboration creates a resilient barrier.

Carotenoid metabolism at the intestinal barrier [PDF]
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.

Role of the Intestinal Microbiome, Intestinal Barrier and Psychobiotics in Depression [PDF]
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 ...

Glucose-targeted niosomes deliver vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to the brain [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate glucose-bearing niosomes as a brain targeted delivery system for the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). To this end, VIP/125I-VIP-loaded glucose-bearing niosomes were intravenously injected to mice.

Helminths and intestinal barrier function [PDF]
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.

Intestinal Barrier Permeability in Allergic Diseases
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

Intestinal barrier function and absorption in pigs after waeaning: a review [PDF]
Under commercial conditions, weaning of piglets is associated with social, environmental and dietary stress. Consequently, small-intestinal barrier and absorptive functions deteriorate within a short time after weaning.
