They normally dampen some aspects of our mucosal immune response.
We believe the most probable explanation rests with intestinal permeability and a mucosal barrier.
They can lower palatability and digestibility5,8 and, in extreme cases, they can lead to mucosal lesions9.
Modulation of mucosal cell proliferation in the intestine of rats fed with a wheat bran diet.
The changes in mucosal architecture were not only related to time after infection, but also to the intensity of infection.
Expression and regulation of 7 (p) integrins on mouse lymphocytes : relevance to the mucosal immune system.
Samples of intestinal contents and mucosal digests were taken and fixed in 10% formalin for an estimation of total worm burdens.
The intestinal response to infection is complex and characterized by changes in mucosal architecture, cell populations, fluid secretion, and generation of an immune response.
