Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) involve several factors in their pathophysiology. Among them is the influence of an unbalanced interaction between the intestine and the intestinal microbiota, which can impair the intestinal barrier and increase its permeability. Disturbances in the different specialized components of the intestinal mucosal barrier are described in patients with IBD, as …
Plaque psoriasis is a skin inflammatory disease that involves changes in the intestinal microbiota (dysbiosis) in its pathogenesis. Mechanisms include disruption of the intestinal barrier, with the translocation of microbial fragments and metabolites, leading to systemic immune system activation. The origin of intestinal dysbiosis is still not well understood, but it is known to involve b…
Kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem which affects productive individuals and promotes considerable worsening quality of life. Obesity is one of the main causes of kidney disease, particularly due to increased predisposition to diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. The relationship between obesity and kidney disease is e…
Oxylipins, derived from É-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ARA), have a high pro-inflammatory potential; while those of É-3 fatty acids, (EPA and DHA), have low pro-inflammatory potential and high pro-inflammatory potential. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is used in obese patients, due to the metabolic effects and rapid resolution of type 2 diabetes. DGYR is associated with an improvement …
