Stress and neuroimmune regulation of gut mucosal function.
The intestinal mucosa is composed of three layers: the innermost muscularis mucosae, lamina propria, and the epithelial layer which is exposed to the lumen. Besides being the structural support for the epithelium, the lamina propria contains elements important for immunological and absorptive functions. Thus in the lamina propria we find blood and lymph vessels, nerve varicosities, and a pletho...
متن کاملHistamine and gut mucosal immune regulation.
Histamine is a biogenic amine with extensive effects on many cell types, mediated by the activation of its four receptors (H1R-H4R). Distinct effects are dependent on receptor subtypes and their differential expression. Within the gastrointestinal tract, histamine is present at relatively high concentrations, particularly during inflammatory responses. In this review, we discuss the immunoregul...
متن کاملNeuroimmune interactions in stress.
Stress has long been recognized as a putative modulator of immunity. Several clinical and experimental reports point to a role of physical and psychological stressors on progression or resistance to disease. Nonetheless, literature in this field is sometimes controversial due to the wide variety of stressors employed and parameters of immunity analyzed. This variation should not be considered a...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid programming of neuroimmune function.
Throughout life physiological systems strive to maintain homeostasis and these systems are susceptible to exposure to maternal or environmental perturbations, particularly during embryonic development. In some cases, these perturbations may influence genetic and physiological processes that permanently alter the functioning of these physiological systems; a process known as developmental progra...
متن کاملModulation of gut mucosal biofilms.
Non-digestible inulin-type fructans, such as oligofructose and high-molecular-weight inulin, have been shown to have the ability to alter the intestinal microbiota composition in such a way that members of the microbial community, generally considered as health-promoting, are stimulated. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are the most frequently targeted organisms. Less information exists on effec...
