Microbial Amplicon Sequencing Analysis of Microbial Populations The risk of lung cancer is known to be associated with exposure to cigarette smoke carcinogens and alterations in intestinal microbiota. However, the impact of NNK and BaP—two crucial components of cigarette smoke carcinogens—on the intestinal microbiota of lung cancer remains ...
Gut Adaptation; the body’s natural ability to “heal” itself. The human body is nothing short of miraculous. It can create life, perform incredible feats, and allow us to experience the world through a number of senses. But what happens when the body becomes damaged from illness or injury? Medical advancements have helped us come a long way in fighting disease, injury and ...
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a) is a potent cytokine that is over-expressed by cells during chronic intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, TNF-a represents the most validated clinical target for ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with multiple emerging neutralizing/inflammation-reducing therapeutics targeting this cytokine for inactivation. TNF-a ...
Created for parents, by parents. No parent expects the news. So when you receive the news of a Short Bowel Syndrome diagnosis, it’s only fair that it’s a little overwhelming. Your picture of what the future of your family looks like begins to shift, and you have to shift with it. Let’s start off by saying, you’re not alone. There are parents, caregivers and family ...
Lactase is a disaccharidase present on the surface of mammalian small intestinal mucosal microvilli, and many beneficial intestinal bacteria have the ability to produce lactase. ...
Similar to trypsin inhibitors, chymotrypsin inhibitors can also reduce the degradation of proteins in the intestinal tract, causing the production of amino acids and peptides to be affected, thereby affecting the normal metabolism of organisms. ...
Numerous large population-based researches have synthesized the human intestinal microbiome (IM) metagenomes in this aspect, as well as other specific medical body sites, such as the skin, vagina, and mouth. ...
Probiotics are beneficial to the health of the host, and can help inhibit intestinal pathogens, reduce lactose intolerance, and improve constipation. ...
More efficient development of drugs with attractive side effect profiles requires robust, easy-to-use, cost-effective in vitro gut models that are physiologically representative of the human intestinal tract and thus predictive of in vivo behavior. RepliGut® tissue constructs have been designed to meet this need. ...
A particular population of these colonizers has gathered much interest: the inhabitants of the gastro-intestinal tract, also known as the gut microbiome. The bacteria and fungi that colonize this space have co-evolved with humans for millions of years. ...
To improve current bioaccumulation assessment methods, a methodology is developed, applied and investigated for measuring in vivo biotransformation rates of hydrophobic organic substances in the body (soma) and gastro‐intestinal tract of the fish. The method resembles the bioaccumulation OECD 305 dietary test but includes reference chemicals to determine both ...
