Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

چکیده
The importance of friendly bacteria in the large intestine is becoming clearer. In fact, the recent focus of research on the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine and their relationship with health outcomes has been hard to ignore. Study after study indicates that the gut microbiome is intricately related to our health and well-being. However, the extent of the benefits of the gut bacteria is dependent on several conditions. One of these is the location of the bacteria, which under normal circumstances is primarily the large intestine, where friendly gut bacteria ferment carbohydrates and synthesize micronutrients.

متن کاملThe role of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, intestinal permeability, endotoxaemia, and tumour necrosis factor á in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
Background—Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth may contribute to the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, perhaps by increasing intestinal permeability and promoting the absorption of endotoxin or other enteric bacterial products. Aims—To investigate the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, increased intestinal permeability, elevated endotoxin, and tumour necrosis fac...
