Vitamin A Linked to Severe Inflammation of the Gut
Improving disorders like Crohn's
The researchers concluded that ISX plays an important role in controlling the metabolic pathway of vitamin A. Moreover, it presents a significant link between diet and gut immunity. “Genetic mutations in the ISX gene have been associated with inflammatory disorders such as Crohn’s disease. A better understanding of the molecular factors that control gut immunity will aid the development of nutritional intervention strategies to improve health,” added von Lintig.
