Glucose absorption in the duodenum is modulated by an estrogen receptor α-dependent regulation of glucose transporter functional expression

BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care
Introduction The mechanisms of estrogen in glucose metabolism are well established; however, the role of this hormone in glucose absorption remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of estrogen on glucose absorption in humans, mice, and

COVID‐19 and the digestive system: More than just a “flu”

JGH Open, 2020
Although initially considered another “flu” illness, the new Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has morphed into a global pandemic, the likes of which we have not seen in recent times. Fundamentally regarded as a respiratory illness and caused

Direct Extracellular Matrix Modulation Attenuates Intestinal Fibrosis via a Fibronectin‐Targeted Approach

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin regulates the extracellular matrix (ECM)–myofibroblast cycle through three key steps: (1) its secretion and assembly by myofibroblasts (inhibited by pUR4); (2) collagen deposition along its scaffold (inhibited by R1R2); and (3) integrin α5β1‐mediated mechanotransduction (inhibited by ATN161).
