Intestinal microbiome dysbiosis in alcohol-dependent patients and its effect on rat behaviors
Alcohol dependence (AD) is a worldwide epidemic of psychiatric disorders. Gut microbiota dysbiosis may be involved in the development of AD. Recently, the number of studies on the relationship between gut microbiota and alcohol is increasing.

Role of fat hydrolysis in regulating glucagon-like Peptide-1 secretion [PDF]
Context: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced by specialized cells in the gut and secreted in response to carbohydrates and lipids. The mechanisms regulating fat-stimulated GLP-1 release have, however, not been clarified in detail.

The Role of GI Peptides in Functional Dyspepsia and Gastroparesis: A Systematic Review
Functional dyspepsia (FD) and gastroparesis (GP) are common disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The pathophysiology of these conditions is likely to be heterogenous, and factors such as altered motility, sensitivity and response to nutrition ...

Regulation of fat-stimulated neurotensin secretion in healthy subjects [PDF]
CONTEXT: Cholecystokinin (CCK) and neurotensin are stimulated during meal intake by the presence of fat in the small intestine. The sequence of events suggests that fat hydrolysis is crucial for triggering the release.
