Core Tip |
Zonulin is a protein that appears to play a significant role in gut barrier integrity. Increased zonulin levels and deregulation of intestinal permeability have been demonstrated in patients suffering from celiac disease or type 2 diabetes. However, the role of zonulin as a promoting factor of intestinal barrier disruption in patients with liver cirrhosis has not been studiedadequately. We evaluated serum zonulin levels in patients with different stages of advanced liver disease. According to our findings, serum zonulin levels are increased in patients with more advanced liver disease and are independently associated with progression to decompensation. |
