“Previous research in animals demonstrates that chronic excessive alcohol exposure increases intestinal permeability, endotoxemia, and liver inflammation. Chronic mild endotoxemia increases inflammation in TLR4 sensing tissues, such as the blood vessels that comprise the blood-brain barrier.”

“Immune cells in the intestinal epithelium secrete immune factors into the mucus layer, allowing friendly bacteria to colonize space close to the barrier, crowding out unfamiliar microbes. When this complex filtering system weakens, microbial toxins in the bloodstream increase, a condition known as endotoxemia.”

“Intestinal permeability may also contribute to a chronic state of metabolic endotoxemia, which drives metabolic and physiological consequences that may have far-reaching consequences on immunity, the brain, and even aging.”

“A healthy intestinal barrier limits the transport of pathogens and endotoxins from the gut to the bloodstream; however, increased gut permeability (known as "leaky gut") raises endotoxin levels, leading to metabolic endotoxemia.”

“When this barrier breaks down, as in, intestinal permeability, also known as "leaky gut," microbes and their metabolites translocate out of the intestinal lumen and influence the health and function of distant tissues, such as the brain, connective tissues, sometimes promoting a state known as "metabolic endotoxemia."”

“Then, using animal models of gout (an inflammatory disorder of the joints) and endotoxemia (a systemic inflammatory condition), they observed that the NSAIDs mediated the inflammation associated with the conditions and promoted Nrf2 gene expression.”

“Intestinal permeability and metabolic endotoxemia leakiness results in the influx of molecules from the gut into the sterile human body, which contributes to disease states or to exacerbation of disease in different contexts."”

“Causes of obesity-associated inflammation include leaky gut, a condition where the intestinal barrier is compromised, leading to increased levels of bacterial endotoxin (toxins that are released when bacteria die) in the bloodstream (called endotoxemia).”

“These effects may simply be the result of the inflammatory effects of eating an obesogenic diet. Interestingly, eating any meal – regardless of content – can provoke an increase in LPS, a phenomenon known as postprandial endotoxemia.”
