About this listen

 In this encore episode, we detail the gut-immune axis, focusing on the protective mucus layer and the roles of secretory immunoglobulin A and lactoferrin in intestinal health. We discuss endogenous secretions as well as highlight lactoferrin testing and levels. Topics: 1. The Intestinal Barrier & Mucus Layer- The intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria.- The mucus layer: antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and secretory IgA (sIgA).- Intestinal epithelial cells including goblet cells and enterocytes.2. Immune Cells in the Gut- The lamina propria.- Macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, B cells, T cells, mast cells, and more.3. Antimicrobial Peptides & Secretory IgA- AMPs and sIgA in the mucus layer aid in regulating microbial balance and pathogen adhesion.4. Lactoferrin: Functions & Sources- Iron-binding glycoprotein, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties.- Found in mucosal secretions, colostrum, and more.- Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and neutrophils.5. Lactoferrin’s Role in Intestinal Health- Regulates iron absorption via lactoferrin receptors (LFR)on enterocytes.- Sequesters free iron, limiting bacterial growth, bacteriostatic.- Destabilizes bacterial membranes, cell lysis, bactericidal.6. Lactoferrin Levels- Neutrophils release lactoferrin during infection,increasing its presence in the large intestine.- Fecal lactoferrin levels.- Fecal calprotectin levels.7. Candida Overgrowth8. Lactoferrin Supplementation to Support the Gut9. Conclusion- The intestinal mucus layer.- Lactoferrin.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1. ⁠⁠⁠OmneDiem®'s⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest®⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest® PureMAX⁠⁠⁠ 2. ⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest® Histamine Complete⁠⁠⁠ with DAO, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Bromelain, and Stinging Nettle Root Extract.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!
