Lactic Acid Bacteria May Impact Intestinal Barrier Function by Modulating Goblet Cells
15 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
SCOPE: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are recognized to promote gastrointestinal health by mechanisms that are not fully understood. LABs might modulate the mucus and thereby enhance intestinal barrier function. Herein, we investigate effects of different LAB strains and species on goblet cell genes involved in mucus synthesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Gene expression profiles of goblet-cell-associated products (mucin...
