Active transport of bile acids decreases mucin 2 in neonatal ileum: implications for development of necrotizing enterocolitis.

Active transport of bile acids decreases mucin 2 in neonatal ileum: implications for development of necrotizing enterocolitis.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency of premature infants, but its etiology remains unclear. We have previously shown that mucin 2 (Muc2) positive goblet cells are significantly decreased in NEC. We have also shown that ileal bile acids (BAs) are significantl...
