U.S. researchers found that vitamin A deficiency actually increases resistance to intestinal parasites. Retinoic acid, the active form of vitamin A, increased Sprouty2 expression in intestinal stem cells, blocking tuft cell differentiation. When vitamin A was deficient, this inhibitory pathway was released, increasing the number of tuft cells and parasite expulsion.
