Lower Diet Quality Associated with Subclinical Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Healthy United States Adults

This 2024 observational study published in the Journal of Nutrition (DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.02.030) examined the relationship between diet quality and subclinical gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation in 358 healthy U.S. adults. Researchers found that higher intake of fiber, legumes, vegetables, and fruits—along with better overall diet quality measured by the Healthy Eating Index—was

Utility of faecal calprotectin analysis in adult inflammatory bowel disease

This study explores the use of faecal calprotectin (FC) measurement as a non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing and managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Elevated FC levels correlate with active disease and can help distinguish IBD from other gastrointestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome

Calprotectin: from biomarker to biological function

This review discusses the multifaceted role of calprotectin (CP) as both a biomarker and an active player in immune modulation and antimicrobial defense. CP is commonly used to assess gastrointestinal inflammation, particularly in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and its concentration can help distinguish between inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions. The review

Calprotectin in inflammatory bowel disease

This review article explores the role of calprotectin as a key biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Elevated levels of calprotectin are closely associated with disease activity, making it an effective non-invasive marker for diagnosing IBD, assessing disease severity, monitoring treatment response, and predicting
