Investigation of Gut Permeability
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Changes in the permeability of the small intestine can result in under-absorption of nutrients or the converse, over-absorption of the intestinal contents. Either condition can be described as malabsorption, although this term is more commonly used in the case of under-absorption of nutrients. A number of investigators have shown that over-absorption syndromes (increased gut permeability) are very widespread but significantly under-diagnosed. This is important, for example, in food intolerance, where derivatives of mal-digested food may be absorbed through the gut wall and into the circulation, resulting in characteristic hypersensitivity symptoms [1,2].

An Investigation into the Role of P-Glycoprotein in the Intestinal Absorption of Repaglinide: Assessed by Everted Gut Sac and Caco-2 Cell Line
The present study aimed at exploring the potential of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporters as a barrier to the repaglinide (REG) epithelial permeability. In-vitro intestinal absorption models, the everted gut sac, and Caco-2 cell line, were used to study the possible role of P-gp in intestinal transport of REG. In the everted gut sacs, apparent permeability coefficients showed cargo concentra...

متن کاملIncreased gut permeability in newborns with food allergy
Background Gut barrier condition is very important factor for development of food tolerance. In the first few years of life, humans gradually develop an intricate balance between tolerance and immune reactivity in the gut mucosa. Increased absorption of food antigens in early childhood may play role for sensitization and development of food allergy in the future. The purpose of the study is inv...

Sex steroid deficiency-associated bone loss is microbiota dependent and prevented by probiotics.
A eubiotic microbiota influences many physiological processes in the metazoan host, including development and intestinal homeostasis. Here, we have shown that the intestinal microbiota modulates inflammatory responses caused by sex steroid deficiency, leading to trabecular bone loss. In murine models, sex steroid deficiency increased gut permeability, expanded Th17 cells, and upregulated the os...
