Cachexia‐anorexia syndrome is a complex metabolic condition characterized by skeletal muscle wasting, reduced food intake and prominent involvement of systemic and central inflammation. Here, the gut barrier function was investigated in pancreatic cancer‐induced cachexia mouse models by relating intestinal permeability to the degree of cachexia. We further investigated the involvement of the gut–brain axis and the crosstalk between tumour, gut and hypothalamus in vitro.
