Gliadin is a toxic protein implicated as a factor in coeliac disease that cause activation of the innate immune response. The protein unregulates tissue enzymes that cause inflammation and down-regulate the anti-inflammatory PPAR-gamma
CiteULike: Lysosomal accumulation of gliadin p31–43 peptide induces oxidative stress and tissue transglutaminase-mediated PPARγ downregulation in intestinal epithelial cells and coeliac mucosa: "Maiuri, L., Luciani, A., Villella, V. R., Vasaturo, A., Giardino, I., Pettoello-Mantovani, M., Guido, S., Cexus, O. N., Peake, N., Londei, M., and Quaratino, S. (2010). Lysosomal accumulation of gliadin p31–43 peptide induces oxidative stress and tissue transglutaminase-mediated pparγ downregulation in intestinal epithelial cells and coeliac mucosa. Gut, 59(3):311-319."
A Blog by HEIRS on Health Education, Information and Support Resources
This blog provides information and resources for healthier living, wellness and a number of health topics including specific medical conditions. It is also a resource for conditions commonly considered to be environmental illnesses including CFS, FM, PTSD, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, MCS, heart disease, and a number of other conditions that are potentiated by contaminants in the air, soil and water including autism, sick building syndrome and sickness behavior just to name a few. This blog will try to focus on less scientific and more real-world news and application.
