Vitamin A deficiency suppresses CEACAM1 to impair colonic epithelial barrier function via downregulating microbial-derived short-chain fatty acids
Vitamin A (VA) plays an essential role in modulating both the gut microbiota and gut barrier function. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as metabolites of the gut microbiota, protect the physiological intestinal barrier; however, they are compromised when VA is deficient. Thus, there is an urgent nee...
