An increased intestinal permeability has been described in various gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal disorders. Nevertheless, the concept definition of is relatively broad includes not only an altered paracellular route, regulated by tight junction proteins, but also transcellular route involving membrane transporters channels, endocytic mechanisms. Paracellular can be assessed vivo using different molecules (e.g., sugars, polyethylene glycols, 51 Cr-EDTA) ex Ussing chambers combining electrophysiology probes molecular sizes. The latter still gold standard technique for assessing epithelial barrier function, whereas techniques, including putative blood biomarkers such as fatty acid-binding protein zonulin, are broadly used despite limitations. In second part review, current evidence role impaired function pathophysiology selected liver diseases discussed. Celiac disease one conditions with best playing a crucial zonulin its proposed regulator.

Abstract Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a widespread contaminant in foods and feedstuffs, its target organ the liver. Melatonin (MT) has been shown to alleviate inflammation organs remodel gut microbiota animals humans. However, underlying mechanism by which MT alleviates AFB1‐induced liver injury remains unclear. In present study, pretreatment markedly increased expression of intestinal tight junction proteins (ZO‐1, Occludin, Claudin‐1), decreased permeability, reduced production gut‐derived Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) remodeled microbiota, ultimately alleviated mice. Interestingly, failed exert beneficial effects on intestine antibiotic‐treated Meanwhile, significantly farnesoid X receptor (FXR) protein ileum, TLR4/NF‐κB signaling pathway‐related messenger RNA (mRNA) (TLR4, MyD88, p‐p65, p‐IκBα) livers AFB1‐exposed Subsequently, Gly‐β‐MCA, an intestine‐selective FXR inhibitor, blocked alleviating effect through increasing liver‐specific mRNA p‐IκBα). conclusion, ameliorated potential may be related regulate microbiota/intestinal FXR/liver TLR4 axis, provides strong evidence for protection inflammation.

Mitochondria play a key role in both health and disease. Their function is not limited to energy production but serves multiple mechanisms varying from iron calcium homeostasis the of hormones neurotransmitters, such as melatonin. They enable influence communication at all physical levels through interaction with other organelles, nucleus, outside environment. The literature suggests crosstalk between mitochondria circadian clocks, gut microbiota, immune system. might even be hub supporting integrating activity across these domains. Hence, they (missing) link Mitochondrial dysfunction related metabolic syndrome, neuronal diseases, cancer, cardiovascular infectious inflammatory disorders. In this regard, diseases Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), pain are discussed. This review focuses on understanding mitochondrial action that allow for maintenance pathways toward dysregulated mechanisms. Although have allowed us adapt changes over course evolution, turn, evolution has shaped mitochondria.
