Aliquot #53: Intestinal permeability
Aliquot #53: Intestinal permeability
A healthy intestinal barrier limits the transport of pathogens and endotoxins from the gut to the bloodstream; however, increased gut permeability (known as “leaky gut”) raises endotoxin levels, leading to metabolic endotoxemia. This disorder causes inflammation in the brain and other tissues driving chronic conditions such as Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular diseases. In this Aliquot, we discuss some of the dietary and lifestyle factors that may prevent leaky gut.
