The relationship between intestinal permeability (IP) and body composition remains unclear. The gold standard test differential-absorption sugars are difficult to resolve, with the zonulin is being increasingly used as an independent biomarker IP. This pilot study aims to explore the relationship between small IP, zonulin concentration, and body composition in healthy adults. The ratio of urinary lactulose-rhamnose used to measure small IP.
Serum zonulin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were analyzed in serum. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and anthropometric measurements were collected. In total, 34 participants included (12 men, average age 28 years, body mass index 24 kg / m2, waist circumference 77cm). No correlation was observed between the ratio of lactulose-rhamnose and zonulin (r = -.016, P = 0.929).
Lactulose-rhamnose ratio shown a strong positive correlation with LPS (n 20, r = 0.536, P = 0.018) but did not correlate with measures of body composition. Instead, zonulin displayed a moderate positive correlation with waist circumference (r = 0.437, P = 0.042) in the female participants and hs-CRP (r = 0.485, P = 0.004) in all participants. These findings raise important considerations for small IP measurement, the guarantor of exploration in the study of more powerful that overcome the limitations of this study.
Serum zonulin measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay may not be a reliable marker of small intestinal permeability in healthy adults
The performance of commercially available anti-HDV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in Taiwan
Background: Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection is a major global health problem worldwide. There are approximately 15-20 million people worldwide infected with HDV. HDV infection usually causes increased mortality compared with infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) only. However, testing for the detection of HDV is not widely available in Taiwan. Therefore, General Biologicals Corporation (GB) HDV Ab kit is developed to detect anti-HDV antibodies.
Methods: A total of 913 462 serum and EDTA-treated plasma samples obtained from HBsAg-positive individuals at three hospitals in Taiwan from June 2014 to November 2017. We are using three commercially available ELISA kit, DiaPro HDV Ab, DIASORIN ETI-AB-DELTAK GB -2 and HDV Ab, which is used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Results: A comparative study of the results of HDV Ab GB kit and other commercial ELISA kit (DiaPro and DIASORIN) was conducted to determine their efficacy for the detection of anti-HDV. The results showed that the sensitivity of HDV Ab GB kit for serum and EDTA samples was 100% compared with that of DiaPro and DIASORIN kit, while specificity for serum and EDTA samples was 99.3 and 98.1%, respectively.
In addition, the overall results of the agreement HDV Ab GB kit for serum and EDTA samples was 99.3 and 98.3%, respectively. It should be noted that the performance of the kit GB HDV Ab is not affected by interference from triglycerides, bilirubin, hemoglobin, or mouse anti-human antibody. The detection limit of the kit GB HDV Ab is approximately 100-fold lower than the other two commercial kits.

Description: ADROPIN is a recently identified protein that has been implicated in the maintenance of energy homeostasis and insulin resistance (1-3). ADROPIN expression is regulated by energy status and dietary nutrient content and is altered by obesity and regulates the expression of hepatic lipogenic genes and adipose tissue peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) (1). ADROPIN levels increase with dietary fat content (2). ADROPIN has also been proposed to play a role in the regulation of endothelial function (3).
