Zinc amino acid chelate and the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) cooperate in improving the barrier function of a Caco-2 cell intestinal epithelium
27 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
• Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) with 6-formylindolo(3,2-b)carbazole (FICZ), enhances zinc-induced tightness of a Caco-2 intestinal cell epithelium. • FICZ improves the ability of zinc to stimulate expression of tight junction proteins at the mRNA and protein levels. • Lysine and glutamic acid chelate of Zn is efficacious in reducing permeability of the Caco-2 cell epithelium in the presence of...
