Inducible heat shock proteins. Dietary nutrients, gut microbiota components, and certain diseases can induce the formation of iHSPs (HSP25 and HSP70) in the GIT epithelium either directly from the microbiota or indirectly through the microbiota secretions and/or metabolites. This increases protection for the host against stressors like oxidation or inflammation in the epithelium.
