Pharmacogenetics and diseases of the colon [PDF]
The deciphering of the human genome sequence has enabled the identification of genetic polymorphisms that are responsible for inter-individual variation in the response to drug therapy. This field is referred to as pharmacogenetics. We review the impact of pharmacogenetics on therapy in diseases of the colon using three common variant enzyme systems as

Maternal antibiotic-induced early changes in microbial colonization selectively modulate colonic permeability and inducible heat shock proteins, and digesta concentrations of alkaline phosphatase and TLR-stimulants in swine offspring. [PDF]
Elevated intake of high energy diets is a risk factor for the development of metabolic diseases and obesity. High fat diets cause alterations in colonic microbiota composition and increase gut permeability to bacterial lipopolysaccharide, and subsequent ...
