Enhancement of Epithelial Barrier Function by Probiotics
Probiotics are microbial organisms that are administered in supplements or foods to enhance the well-being of the host. There exists substantial evidence that in a strain and dose-dependent manner, probiotics can modulate systemic and mucosal immune function, improve intestinal barrier function, alter gut microecology, and exert metabolic effects on the host. Several strains of Lactobacillus an...
متن کاملCan probiotics modulate human disease by impacting intestinal barrier function?
Intestinal barrier integrity is a prerequisite for homeostasis of mucosal function, which is balanced to maximise absorptive capacity, while maintaining efficient defensive reactions against chemical and microbial challenges. Evidence is mounting that disruption of epithelial barrier integrity is one of the major aetiological factors associated with several gastrointestinal diseases, including ...
متن کاملProbiotics benefits on intestinal barrier function
In infants, lactose ingestion induces diarrhoea that may threaten life. In children, this consumption leads to a discomfort sensation and the child learns to identify the responsible sources of that and banish them of his diet. However, in the course of teenage and moreover in adult age, it is usual and surprising to record that persons who consume again milk products do not suffer from discomf...
متن کاملEnhancement of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Barrier Function by the Immunosuppressant Drugs Cyclosporine A and Sirolimus
The primary function of the kidney includes the elimination of waste products and the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte composition of the body. The functioning unit of the kidney is the nephron including the glomerulus with a filtration function and the tubule with a reabsorption and secretion function. The fluid and electrolyte homeostasis is achieved largely through selective, vectorial t...
متن کاملAugmenting Epithelial Barrier Function
The simplest multicellular animal organisms, coelenterates, are essentially floating intestines in the sea. More fundamentally, they are ‘barrier tubes’ that attempt to compartmentalize the environment they exist in. It is said that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. It is thus interesting that the blastocyst, among the earliest multicellular embryonic structures, is essentially a sac comprised ...
