Coeliac Disease: From Triggering Factors to Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coeliac disease (CD) or gluten sensitive enteropathy is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the small intestine with estimated prevalence of 1% in the population. Its incidence is increasing and seems to be higher than expected in the pediatric population associated with unfavorable impact on the quality of life. The aim of the present review is to highlight the main triggering factors leading to the development of CD and its pathomechanism with a special outlook to the recent therapeutic approaches.

Jejunal biopsies from controls and coeliac patients were maintained in organ culture in the presence of gluten fraction III. The culture media were assayed for evidence of lymphokine activity in a migration inhibition test using normal peripheral blood leucocytes.

متن کاملDiversity of the cultivable human gut microbiome involved in gluten metabolism: isolation of microorganisms with potential interest for coeliac disease.
Gluten, a common component in the human diet, is capable of triggering coeliac disease pathogenesis in genetically predisposed individuals. Although the function of human digestive proteases in gluten proteins is quite well known, the role of intestinal microbiota in the metabolism of proteins is frequently underestimated. The aim of this study was the isolation and characterisation of the huma...
