Article Synopsis
- The intestinal barrier serves as a crucial selective interface that separates the body's internal and external environments, and its compromise can lead to various health issues related to increased intestinal permeability (IP).
- Numerous studies, primarily identified through PubMed and Trip, examined the effects of prebiotics on IP between 2010-2023, but only six relevant studies were found, and results varied widely in design and population.
- Despite one study showing a significant positive effect of prebiotics on IP and some improvements in gut microbiota, there is a clear need for more comprehensive human studies with standardized methods to better understand the relationship between prebiotic interventions and IP.
