The antioxidative function of eicosapentaenoic acid in a marine bacterium, Shewanella marinintestina IK-1.

abstract：:Coeliac disease is a chronic enteropathy caused by the ingestion of wheat gliadin and other cereal prolamines derived from rye and barley. In the present work, we investigated the mechanisms underlying altered barrier function properties exerted by gliadin-derived peptides in human Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells. ...
