Researchers discover gut tissue to be a major reservoir harboring HIV
August 28, 2006FINDINGS: UCLA researchers have found the human gut to be a major reservoir harboring the HIV virus - holding almost twice as much as a person's blood. In addition, the virus stored in the gut does not decay or reduce over time, as is also the case with blood-related reservoirs. It is well-known that peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and lymph nodes are principal reservoirs harboring the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The role of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) in this setting, however, had not been properly evaluated until now. Researchers from the Center for Prevention Research and the UCLA AIDS Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, in collaboration with the AIDS Research Alliance in West Hollywood, Calif., collaborated on this research.
IMPACT: The findings further confirm that HIV remains persistent and elusive, and that eradicating the virus using current anti-retroviral therapy alone is not enough. Despite using fully suppressive therapy, patients in the study still had evidence of persistent, steady levels of HIV in gut tissue as well as in the blood.

Form of Crohn's disease traced to disabled gut cells
Scientists report online this week in Nature that they have linked the health of specialized gut immune cells to a gene associated with Crohn's disease, an often debilitating and increasingly prevalent inflammatory bowel disorder.
Probiotics ease gut problems caused by long term stress
Probiotics may help to reduce gut symptoms caused by long term stress, indicates research published ahead of print in the journal Gut.

Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissues (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology) by T. Honjo (Editor), F. Melchers (Editor) The intestine is colonized by an impressive community of commensals, that has profound effects on the immune funtions. The relationship between gut microbiota and the immune system is one of reciprocity: commensals have important contribution in nutrient processing and education of the immune system and conversely, the immune system, particularly gut-associated lymphoid tissues plays a key role in shaping the repertoire of gut microbiota. |

Vital Nutrients Glutamine 850mg 100 Capsules by Vital Nutrients Glutamine is a major fuel for the intestines and supports the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Glutamine aids in tissue growth and is the nutrient of choice when maintaining the intestinal mucosal lining. Glutamine also supports the growth of muscle mass. Glutamine is known to support the immune system, specifically the gut-associated lymph tissue. |

Description: Whole body metal concentration is easier to analyse than concentration in tissues, but is often not an accurate measure of the potential toxicity of the metal. We tested if whole body metal and metalloid concentrations in the caddisfly Hydropsyche (Trichoptera, Hydropsychidae), common in a mine-polluted river (Guadiamar River, SW Spain), were a useful measure to extrapolate environmental degradation. Our results confirmed that metal and metalloid accumulation by Hydropsyche strongly correlated... |
