Unabsorbed dietary unsaturated fatty acids may cause diarrhea in patients with steatorrhea, but their ability to cause colonic fluid secretion is not known. The present study investigated the effect of several dietary long-chain unsaturated fatty acids on colonic absorption and morphology in the rat
Radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome, including nausea, diarrhea and dehydration, contributes to morbidity and mortality after medical or industrial radiation exposure. No safe and effective radiation countermeasure has been approved for clinical therapy. In this study, we aimed to
Clostridium difficile infection is the most common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in developed countries. The major virulence factor, C. difficile toxin B (TcdB), targets colonic epithelia by binding to the frizzled (FZD) family of Wnt receptors, but how TcdB recognizes FZDs is unclear.
Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM 588) is a probiotic bacterium that has previously been used to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, the underlying mechanism by which CBM 588 protects the gut epithelial barrier remains unclear. Here, we show that CBM 588 increased the abundance of
