Zusammenfassung
Obesity and related metabolic comorbidities represent the most relevant diet-induced diseases. An impaired intestinal barrier function has been associated with obesity and may therefore play a critical role in the development of the disease. In previous work we have shown that the intestinal barrier function is impaired in mice receiving a high-fat and high-sugar diet, so called Western-style diet (WSD). High sugar and high fat consumption causes an increase in intestinal permeability, bacterial endotoxin translocation and subsequent liver steatosis. Besides this, WSD-fed mice are characterized by decreased α-de…
