Preclinical In Vitro Model to Assess the Changes in Permeability and Cytotoxicity of Polarized Intestinal Epithelial Cells during Exposure Mimicking Oral or Intravenous Routes: An Example of Arsenite Exposure. Parajuli P, Gokulan K, Khare S. International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2022 May, 23(9), 4851. 10.3390/ijms23094851
Chemicals and drugs can cause different effects on the gut health based on whether they are given by shot in the vein (intravenous exposure) or as a pill that is swallowed (oral exposure). The authors used intestinal cells in culture and found they could assess the difference in the gut barrier function due to the exposure route. This preclinical in vitro model will reduce the use of animals for testing the impact of exposure route.
