TLDR
The correlation between increased intestinal permeability and disease has caught the attention of the public, leading to a rise in popularity of the diagnosis of "leaky gut syndrome," which encompasses a range of systemic disorders.

The piglet as a model for studying dietary components in infant diets: effects of galacto-oligosaccharides on intestinal functions

TL;DR: By applying a neonatal piglet model, it could be demonstrated that a GOS-supplemented milk replacer promotes the balance of the developing intestinal microbiota, improves the intestinal architecture and seems to stimulate the intestinal defence mechanism.

The effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on small intestinal barrier function and mucosal gene transcription; a randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial

TL;DR: Analysis in small intestinal biopsies demonstrated that particularly L. plantarum TIFN101 induced the most pronounced probiotic properties with specific gene transcriptional effects on repair processes in the compromised intestine of healthy subjects.

Oleoylethanolamine and palmitoylethanolamine modulate intestinal permeability in vitro via TRPV1 and PPARα

TL;DR: OEA and PEA have endogenous roles and potential therapeutic applications in conditions of intestinal hyperpermeability and inflammation and Preventing their degradation (by inhibiting fatty acid amide hydrolase) enhanced the effects of OEA andPEA.

Microbial translocation is a cause of systemic immune activation in chronic HIV infection

TL;DR: It is shown that increased lipopolysaccharide is bioactive in vivo and correlates with measures of innate and adaptive immune activation, which establish a mechanism for chronic immune activation in the context of a compromised gastrointestinal mucosal surface and provide new directions for therapeutic interventions that modify the consequences of acute HIV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease.

TL;DR: Recent advances have uncovered mechanisms by which the intestinal mucosal barrier is regulated in response to physiological and immunological stimuli, along with evidence that this regulation shapes mucosal immune responses in the gut and, when dysfunctional, may contribute to disease.

Microbial translocation is a cause of systemic immune activation in chronic HIV infection

TL;DR: It is shown that circulating microbial products, probably derived from the gastrointestinal tract, are a cause of HIV-related systemic immune activation and increased lipopolysaccharide is bioactive in vivo and correlates with measures of innate and adaptive immune activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inner of the two Muc2 mucin-dependent mucus layers in colon is devoid of bacteria

TL;DR: Findings show that the Muc2 mucin can build a mucus barrier that separates bacteria from the colon epithelia and suggest that defects in this mucus can cause colon inflammation.

Innate immunity and intestinal microbiota in the development of Type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: It is found that MyD88 deficiency changes the composition of the distal gut microbiota, and that exposure to the microbiota of specific pathogen-free MyD 88-negative NOD donors attenuates T1D in germ-free NOD recipients.
