From: Acute gastrointestinal permeability after traumatic brain injury in mice precedes a bloom in Akkermansia muciniphila supported by intestinal hypoxia

Figure 8

Graphical summary of findings. We hypothesize that TBI leads to a transient disruption of the intestinal barrier that initiates a colonic response characterized by increased goblet cell density and hypoxia, facilitating an increase in A. muciniphila as a beneficial compensatory response to limit damage to the GI tract.
