Matt WillemsenXanthine Plays Important Role in Gut Health, New Study Suggests - Xanthine, which is found in coffee, tea and chocolate, may play a role in the generation of interleukin-17-producing T helper (Th17) cells, an important subtype of cells in the intestine. https://www.sci.news/medicine/xanthine-gut-health-11745.html #xanthine # #coffee #interleukin17 #GutHealth
Rhyothemis^ "Th17 cells are thought to play a key role in the intestine. They can help to build a protective barrier in the gut, and when a bacterial or fungal infection occurs, these cells may release signals that cause the body to produce more Th17 cells. But the cells have also been implicated in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and IBD."
