AI Article Synopsis

  • Histamine intolerance (HIT) is linked to excess histamine in the body and may be managed with the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) for digestion.
  • During a 4-week study, 28 patients took DAO capsules before meals, leading to significant improvement in HIT-related symptoms.
  • After stopping DAO, symptoms worsened again, indicating that DAO supplementation effectively reduces both the number and intensity of symptoms associated with HIT.

Article Abstract

Histamine intolerance (HIT) is thought to be caused by a disproportionate amount of histamine in the body. The enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) is considered for the gastrointestinal degradation of histamine. For this open-label interventional pilot study, we identified 28 patients with HIT. For 4 weeks, they were instructed to take DAO capsules before meals. Then, throughout a follow-up period, they were instructed not to take the DAO. We used a questionnaire that included 22 symptoms, which were divided into 4 categories, as well as a symptom severity score. All symptoms improved significantly during the oral supplementation of DAO. During the follow-up period, without DAO supplementation, the symptoms sum scores increased again. The symptom intensity score was reduced for all symptoms. We have demonstrated, a significant reduction of every HIT-related symptom and its intensity due to DAO oral supplements. The ClinicalTrials.gov identifier (NCT number) is NCT03298568.

Influence of Seed Disinfection Treatments on the Germination Rate and Histamine-Degrading Activity of Legume Sprouts.

Edible legume sprouts have been proposed as a promising plant-based source of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), which plays a key role in degrading histamine at an intestinal level and preventing the development of histamine intolerance symptoms. However, the temperature and humidity conditions required for seed germination can also favor the rapid growth of yeast and mold, potentially compromising sprout yield and quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different seed disinfection treatments on both the germination rate and DAO enzymatic activity in sprouts of four species.

The study investigated the potential alleviating effect of sodium butyrate (SB) on intestinal injuries caused by glycinin in the diet of common carp. Fish were divided into six groups: a control group (without glycinin and SB), a Gly group (with glycinin), and four groups supplemented with different doses of SB (0.75, 1.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently associated with intestinal comorbidities. Damage to the intestinal barrier plays a crucial role in these disorders, leading to increased intestinal and systemic inflammation, and thereby promoting the progression of COPD. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of intestinal epithelial barrier damage, focusing on the roles of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) and NF-κB in COPD-related intestinal damage.

Background: Currently, there is a lack of serum biomarkers that can accurately predict the short-term prognosis of enterogenic sepsis.

Methods: 99 patients with enterogenic sepsis were categorized based on their Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) grade on the third day of ICU admission into four groups: no AGI, AGI grade I, AGI grade II, and AGI (III+IV). Additionally, patients were classified into survival and death groups according to their 28-day clinical outcomes.
