Describe the role of gliadin, zonulin, and tight junctions in maintenance of the intestinal barrier
Describe the pathophysiology, risk factors, and clinical features of celiac disease
genetic(HLA DQ 2,8)+exposure to prolamins->TTG alter + gliadin w/ zonulin -> IgA against TTG + tight junctions open = inflammation GI ->malabsorption-diarrhea
