Abstract: The pathogenesis of obesity involves a chronic low-grade inflammation. Gluten has been involved in rupture of intestinal barrier, disorganization of the intestinal junction complex and changes in intestinal microbiota. These actions favor the absorption of immunogenic components (such as LPS and several gliadin derivate peptides) to the submucosa and intensify the chronic low-grade inflammation seen in obesity.
