Microbial Translocation in Chronic Liver Diseases
The intestinal microflora is not only involved in the digestion of nutrients, but also in local immunity, forming a barrier against pathogenic microorganisms. The derangement of the gut microflora may lead to microbial translocation, defined as the passage of viable microorganisms or bacterial products (i.e., LPS, lipopeptides) from the intestinal lumen to the mesenteric lymph nodes and other e...

Osteoporosis and osteomalacia are, to date, among the most common metabolic diseases in the world. Lately, an association between metabolic bone diseases and chronic liver disease has been increasingly reported, inducing many authors to create a new nosographic entity known as 'hepatic osteodystrophy.' The importance of such a condition is further increased by the morbidity of these two disease...
متن کاملRole of pregnane X-receptor in regulating bacterial translocation in chronic liver diseases
Bacterial translocation (BT) has been impeccably implicated as a driving factor in the pathogenesis of a spectrum of chronic liver diseases (CLD). Scientific evidence accumulated over the last four decades has implied that the disease pathologies in CLD and BT are connected as a loop in the gut-liver axis and exacerbate each other. Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-activated transcription f...
متن کاملMicrobial Translocation and Infectious Diseases: What Is the Link?
The lumen of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a complex ecosystem where an enormous quantity of different bacterial species, termed the microbiota, establishes a generally sym-biotic relationship with host immune system and epithelial cells. The correct interaction of the components of the GI tract permits the normal function of this ecosystem, reduces the risk of an excess of microbial trans...
