Intermittent fasting protects against food allergy in a murine model via regulating gut microbiota
Summary
In a mouse model of food allergy, long-term intermittent fasting attenuated allergic responses by reducing Th2 inflammation, maintaining intestinal barrier integrity, and preventing gut microbiota dysbiosis.
In an OVA-induced mice FA model, long-term IF may attenuate FA by reducing Th2 inflammation, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelial barrier, and preventing gut dysbiosis.

Intestinal barrier dysfunction and food allergy
This review applies the epithelial barrier hypothesis to food allergy, arguing that environmental exposures including microplastics, nanoplastics, food additives, and detergents disrupt gut and skin barriers and drive the rise in allergic disease.
Gut microbiota remodeling drived by dietary millet protein prevents the metabolic syndrome
Researchers found that millet bran protein extract prevented metabolic syndrome in high-fat diet mice by remodeling gut microbiota and reducing obesity, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The protective effects were linked to specific gut microbial metabolites influenced by dietary millet protein.
Oral exposure to nanoplastics and food allergy in mice fed a normal or high-fat diet
Researchers studied how oral exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics affects food allergy responses in mice fed either a normal or high-fat diet. They found that nanoplastics worsened allergic reactions to a food protein, particularly in mice on the high-fat diet, by increasing gut permeability and shifting immune responses. The study suggests that the combination of nanoplastic exposure and a Western-style diet may be contributing to the rising prevalence of food allergies.
The Relationship Between Dietary Patterns and the Epidemiology of Food Allergy
This review explores why food allergies are increasing worldwide, particularly in urbanized societies, and how dietary patterns may play a role. The shift toward processed Western diets with less fiber appears to weaken the gut barrier and promote chronic inflammation, contributing to food allergy development. The authors note that environmental exposures including microplastics may also be significant factors, though more research is needed to determine their specific contribution.
Intestinal permeability, food antigens and the microbiome: a multifaceted perspective
This review summarizes how a leaky gut barrier, caused by factors like Western diets, pollution, and infections, can trigger chronic diseases including celiac disease, food allergies, and irritable bowel syndrome. The gut lining, microbiome, and immune system all work together to maintain health, but environmental disruptions can throw this balance off. This is relevant to microplastics research because studies have shown that microplastic exposure can damage the gut barrier and alter the microbiome in similar ways.
