The biophysics of carbohydrate-driven dysbiosis: How dietary glucose fuels luminal Candida proliferation to aggravate cutaneous eczema lesions.
1. Refined Sugars and Fungal Proliferation
Excessive consumption of refined mono- and disaccharides provides a rapid metabolic substrate for intestinal Candida albicans yeast. High luminal glucose concentrations upregulate Candida hexose transporters (HXT1), accelerating fungal biomass accumulation.
2. Fermentation By-Products and Cutaneous Inflammation
Fungal carbohydrate fermentation produces acetaldehyde and ethanol metabolic by-products that weaken enterocyte tight junctions, triggering cutaneous IgE-mediated hyper-reactivity.
