Abstract

The intestinal barrier (IB) is a system of diffusion barriers separating the intestinal chyme and blood. The aim of the review is to identify the role of IB dysfunction in the formation of critical states of the body and to substantiate ways to prevent these states. Toxic substances produced by normal intestinal microflora are characterized. The involvement of endotoxin and ammonia in the pathogenesis of sepsis, acute circulatory disorders, secondary acute pulmonary lesions, and acute cerebral insufficiency is shown. Approaches to protect the IB in critical states of the body are proposed.
