Leaky gut syndrome is a popular term for a scientific phenomenon: intestinal barrier dysfunction, where the epithelial lining of the gut becomes abnormally permeable. In rigorous biomedical language, the “gut barrier” is maintained by tight junction proteins between enterocytes, a protective mucus layer rich in mucins, a functional glycocalyx, regulated epithelial turnover, and an immune… Read More »
