Gut Health Symposium Dec. 3-5 , 2012

What is gut health ?

The ”Gut”� the largest interface between the external environment & the internal

host milieu

� constitutes the major barrier through which molecules can either be absorbed or secreted

� largest residence of immune cells in body; acts as a physical & immune barrier to pathogens

� natural habitat for a large & dynamic community of microbes that participate & regulate gut & systemic functions

1. Effective digestion/food absorption

2. Stable microbial population

3. Effective immune status

4. Effective gut barrier

5. Effective neuroendocrine system

Think of the body as a hollow plastic tube…

The food is digested within the hole in the tube, but it never actually enters into the solid plastic material.

Epithelium and Immune Function

Microbiota (Microflora)� The collection of organisms found in and on our body- very location

specific and individual specific (genetic component)

� Gastrointestinal microbiota is the most diverse and has the largest interaction both with mucosa and ingesta- “superorganism”

Commensal Organisms� 1014 organisms-eukarya, archae and bacteria

� 1012 commensal bacteria/ml- 10X higher than the combined somatic and stem cells in man

� Commensals are essential for immune development

� Composition of commensal bacteria influenced by the host immune status

Microflora, Diet and Stress� Nutrition isn’t just feeding the “animal” it is also feeding the

“microbes”

� Production of vitamins

� More efficient bacteria- increase opportunity for obesity

• Innate Immunity - 2nd Line of Defense

• the troops are called to battle…– injury & infection– macrophages are on patrol– cytokine chemicals attract other �troops�– Absolutely essential for vaccine responses

Take Home: A Healthy Gut is a Necessity- What About

Nutriceuticals?

� Essential Oils, Organic Acids, Bioactives (Plasma Proteins, colostrum), Bacterial cultures, yeast, cell wall products, metabolites

� Problem: how do we measure it

� Do we need them all the time? Depends- times of stress

Summary

� Immune System is the Body’s Defense System- 3 lines of defense

� Mucosa-Barrier- New Frontier, � Good- Antimicrobial proteins, IgA, cytokines� Bad-inflammatory cells- leaky gut

� Innate Immunity-� Good-Primary “reactive” defense, necessary for acquired� Bad-leaky gut� Ugly-collateral damage

� Acquired Immunity-� Good- specific immunity, duration� Bad-allergy, chronic inflammation
