Overview

Why this framework exists

The framework explains the role of tight junction proteins in maintaining gut integrity and preventing leaky gut.

Core principles

3 total
  1. Tight junction proteins maintain gut integrity.
  2. Fructose can nitrate tight junction proteins, leading to leaky gut.
  3. Fiber can support tight junction protein function.
