Small intestinal permeability in older adults
Abstract It is not yet clear whether intestinal mucosal permeability changes with advancing age in humans. This question is of high importance for drug and nutrition approaches for older adults. Our main objective was to answer the question if small intestinal barrier integrity deteriorates with healthy aging. We conducted a cross-sectional study including the pooled data of 215 nonsmoking heal...
متن کاملSmall intestinal permeability in animals and man.
The permeability of the human small intestine has been studied by measuring the clearance from the plasma into the intestinal lumen of substances with molecular weights ranging from 60 to 80 000. A direct relationship has been demonstrated between intestinal loss and plasma concentration and an inverse one between clearance and molecular size.The permeability of the rabbit small intestine has b...
متن کاملAre self-reported gastrointestinal symptoms among older adults associated with increased intestinal permeability and psychological distress?
BACKGROUND Despite the substantial number of older adults suffering from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms little is known regarding the character of these complaints and whether they are associated with an altered intestinal barrier function and psychological distress. Our aim was to explore the relationship between self-reported gut health, intestinal permeability and psychological distress amon...
متن کاملSmall intestinal structure and passive permeability in systemic sclerosis.
Seventeen patients with proven systemic sclerosis had a peroral jejunal biopsy performed. Four biopsies were regarded as showing abnormalities, which were mostly confined to the deeper structures, although in two there was a minimal degree of villous atrophy without epithelial cell changes. Passive intestinal permeability, as assessed by the cellobiose/mannitol test, was normal in all patients....
متن کاملSmall intestinal permeability and orocaecal transit time in cystic fibrosis.
Cellobiose and mannitol were used as probe molecules to measure intestinal permeability in 36 children with cystic fibrosis, and 25 age matched controls. Orocaecal transit was also evaluated for each subject using the lactulose/hydrogen breath test. There was a fourfold increase in permeability to disaccharide (cellobiose) in patients with cystic fibrosis, but permeability to the monosaccharide...
