This study shows that biomarkers from blood and fecal samples are associated with the cumbersome established tests of intestinal permeability throughout different cohorts. Therefore, such biomarkers could be used to assess gut barrier function in prospective cohort studies and large-scale clinical trials for which tracer-based tests may not be feasible.
