Intestinal homeostasis is a product of a complex and regulated network among diet, microbiota, gut epithelial cells and the immune system. The great challenge for the gastrointestinal tract is to respond to pathogens and to food antigen while it needs to keep its function, such as nutrient absorption, and to tolerate foreign antigens. Any disturb between these interactions unleashes an in…
Inflammatory bowel diseases have an increased incidence worldwide. They can occur due to several factors, from genetic to after infections by pathogenic microorganisms. Furthermore, intestinal inflammation may be associated with the development of colorectal cancer. Thus, it becomes important to understand the processes and components related to intestinal homeostasis as well as those rel…
Epidemiological studies have shown an association between obesity and autoimmune diseases. However, the immunologic mechanisms that explain this association have not been elucidated. The small intestine is one of the most important organs for the induction of peripheral tolerance; the intestinal immune system maintains the function of the organ while it responds to antigens from diet, pat…
Enteroendocrine hormones are hormones released from the activation of enteroendocrine cells (CEE), cells that reside in the epithelial layer of the gastrointestinal tract. CEEs release these hormones from the presence of nutrients. Among these hormones are the incretins GIP (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide) and GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Polypeptide 1). These two hormones have the ability to rel…
Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) are end-products produced from the fermentation of complex carbohydrates by intestinal microbiota. It has been reported that AGCCs have anti-inflammatory properties, protecting from colitis as well as acting in modulation of neutrophil's function and in the maturation and activation of dendritic cells. However, their role in the function of T CD4 + cells, cr…
