Progress of Research on Stress-related Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction / 胃肠病学

ABSTRACT

Intestinal barrier is formed by intestinal mucous layer,epithelial cells,cellular tight junction,enterocyte membrane,submucosal lamina propria and immunologic factors,and plays a pivotal role in maintaining gastrointestinal function. Different types of stress can induce intestinal barrier dysfunction and increased intestinal permeability,leading to a series of gastrointestinal diseases. This article reviewed the progress of research on pathological changes and mechanism of stress-related intestinal barrier dysfunction.
