Under normal circumstances they do not damage the health, which totally owes to the barrier functions of the integral intestinal mucosa. Intestinal lnucosal barriers are mainly composed of four parts： mechanical barrier, immune barrier, chemical and biological barrier. Each of these functions has corresponding structural basis, an important barrier to prevent harmful substances and pathogens in the gut into the inner environment of the body, and to maintain a stable internal environment.展开更多
