Lipid peroxidation induced by DHA enrichment modifies paracellular permeability in Caco-2 cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 Dietary enrichment with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has numerous beneficial effects on health. However, the intake of high doses of polyunsaturated fatty acids can promote lipid peroxidation and the subsequent propagation of oxygen radicals.

Reconstitution of functional tight junctions with individual claudin subtypes in epithelial cells
Cell Structure and Function, 2022 The claudin family of membrane proteins is responsible for the backbone structure and function of tight junctions (TJs), which regulate the paracellular permeability of epithelia.

Tight junction-related barrier contributes to the electrophysiological asymmetry across vocal fold epithelium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Electrophysiological homeostasis is indispensable to vocal fold hydration. We investigate tight junction (TJ)-associated components, occludin and ZO-1, and permeability with or without the challenge of a permeability-augmenting agent, histamine.

Developmental changes in rabbit proximal straight tubule paracellular permeability [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2002 The early proximal tubule preferentially reabsorbs organic solutes and bicarbonate over chloride ions, resulting in a luminal fluid with a higher chloride concentration than that in blood. From this late proximal tubular fluid, one-half of NaCl reabsorption by the adult proximal tubule is active and transcellular and one-half is passive and ...
