Gut Microbiota and Probiotics in Modulation of Epithelium and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Function

Gut microbiota and probiotics in modulation of epithelium and gut-associated lymphoid tissue function.

The intestinal tract mucosa is exposed to a vast number of environmental antigens and a large community of commensal bacteria. The mucosal immune system has to provide both protection against pathogens and tolerance to harmless bacteria. Immune homeostasis depends on the interaction of indigenous commensal and transient bacteria (probiotics) with various components of the epithelium and the gut...

Gut microbiota, probiotics and diabetes

Diabetes is a condition of multifactorial origin, involving several molecular mechanisms related to the intestinal microbiota for its development. In type 2 diabetes, receptor activation and recognition by microorganisms from the intestinal lumen may trigger inflammatory responses, inducing the phosphorylation of serine residues in insulin receptor substrate-1, reducing insulin sensitivity. In ...

Comparative immunohistochemistry of Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of, Huso huso in two warm and cold seasons

Abstract The main objective of recent study was comparative immunohistochemistry of Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of, Huso huso in two warm and cold seasons. Ten specimens were collected from sturgeon breeding centers and after anesthesia, biometric was taken on them. 0.5 centimeter samples of primary, middle and end of intestine were removed and immediately were placed in Bouin soluti...

Changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota in celiac disease

Evidence is supported the hypothesis that any changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota play a fundamental role in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases including celiac disease (CD). In the last decade, several culture-independent methods have been developed to identify the components of the human microbiome. The study of microbiota based on nucleic acid analysis found ...
