Article Synopsis
- Chronic exposure to food-grade titanium dioxide (E171) raises health concerns due to its potential inflammatory effects and ability to promote gut lesions.
- Researchers studied how TiO is absorbed in the intestines of mice, finding peak absorption in certain areas at 4 hours post-administration before it dropped, while some absorption continued to occur in the Peyer's patches at 8 hours.
- The study identified that significantly more TiO absorption happens via pathways related to goblet cells and that blocking certain tight junctions greatly reduces absorption, indicating complex mechanisms of uptake in the gut.
