Excess dietary sugar impairs colonic epithelial regeneration in response to damage
2021-08-19
Abstract excerpt
The colonic epithelium requires continuous renewal by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to restore the barrier after damage and proliferation of epithelial cells is modulated by dietary metabolites. We demonstrate that mice fed a high sugar diet failed to repair colonic barrier damage, resulting in increased intestinal pathology. Culturing ISCs in excess sugar limited murine and human colonoid development, indicating t...
