On the one hand, Akkermansia muciniphila enhances the junction strength between intestinal epithelial cells by regulating the expression of tight junction proteins, such as ZO-1, Occludin, and Claudin-1, to attempt to repair the disrupted intestinal barrier (Liu et al., 2023)
This HO-CO pathway has been recently proposed to be involved in the defence against oxidative stress and the deleterious effects of NO, since it removes the cytotoxic free heme, and produces some molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, such as biliverdin and CO [8, 3840]
