  2. Lipopolysaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipopolysaccharide

    Lipopolysaccharides can have substantial impacts on human health, primarily through interactions with the immune system. LPS is a potent activator of the immune system and is a pyrogen (agent that causes fever). [4] In severe cases, LPS can trigger a brisk host response and multiple types of acute organ failure [5] which can lead to septic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteroides_thetaiotaomicron

    Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is a common bacterium in the human gut microbiome that has evolved alongside humans to support digestion and general health. Over time, this bacterium developed the ability to break down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars, which helps the host species get more energy from the food it eats.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_A

    Chemical structure of lipid A as found in E. coli [1]. Lipid A is a lipid component of an endotoxin held responsible for the toxicity of gram-negative bacteria.It is the innermost of the three regions of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also called endotoxin molecule, and its hydrophobic nature allows it to anchor the LPS to the outer membrane. [2]

  6. CD14 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD14

    CD14 (cluster of differentiation 14) is a human protein made mostly by macrophages as part of the innate immune system. [5] [6] It helps to detect bacteria in the body by binding lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP).

  7. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein

    Inflammation, a biological system response to stimuli such as the introduction of a pathogen, has an underlying role in numerous systemic biological functions and pathologies. This is a useful response by the immune system when the body is exposed to pathogens, such as bacteria in locations that will prove harmful, but can also have detrimental ...

  8. Gut-associated lymphoid tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut-associated_lymphoid_tissue

    Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) [1] is a component of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) which works in the immune system to protect the body from invasion in the gut. Owing to its physiological function in food absorption, the mucosal surface is thin and acts as a permeable barrier to the interior of the body.

  9. Intestinal mucosal barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_mucosal_barrier

    Its role in protecting the mucosal tissues and circulatory system from exposure to pro-inflammatory molecules, such as microorganisms, toxins, and antigens is vital for the maintenance of health and well-being. [1] [2] [3] Intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction has been implicated in numerous health conditions such as: food allergies, microbial ...
