Digestive Health and Gastrointestinal Protection

2023
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is responsible for multiple functions, including digestion and absorption of food which directly affect systemic health through reactive oxygen species scavenging, immune function modulation, and gut microbiota communication.

Gastrointestinal Effects of Low-Digestible Carbohydrates

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2009
Low-digestible carbohydrates (LDCs) are carbohydrates that are incompletely or not absorbed in the small intestine but are at least partly fermented by bacteria in the large intestine. Fiber, resistant starch, and sugar alcohols are types of LDCs.

Gastrointestinal Motility After Digestive Surgery

Surgery Today, 2007
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility dysfunction is a common complication of any abdominal surgical procedure. During fasting, the upper GI tract undergoes a cyclic change in motor activity, called the interdigestive migrating motor contraction (IMC). The IMC is divided into four phases, with phase III having the most characteristic activity. After digestive

Gastrointestinal Digestive and Absorptive Function

Pediatrics, 2000
From a nutritional perspective, the gastrointestinal tract may be viewed as an organ of digestion and absorption, and the principal functions of each part; pregastric, gastric, small intestinal, pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and colonic, together operate in an integrated manner to assimilate complementary foods and transport nutrients across the ...

Rhythm of digestion: keeping time in the gastrointestinal tract

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2009
Summary1. The best characterized mammalian circadian rhythms follow a light‐entrained central master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and are associated with fluctuations in the activities of clock genes, including Clock, Bmal1, Per and Cry, the products of which bind to sequences in the promoters of effector genes. This is the central clock.2.

Gastrointestinal Digestion and Absorption of Lipid

1985
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses gastrointestinal digestion and lipid absorption. It also discusses the various experimental models proposed to study the various aspects of the complex processes involved in the absorption and transport of dietary lipids. The chapter presents the role of microtubules.

Digestion and metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract

2011
In NorFor the digestion and metabolism are simulated in three compartments: (1) the rumen, (2) the small intestine and (3) the large intestine. This chapter describes the modelling of the digestion processes in the three compartments and the microbial OM synthesis in the rumen and large intestine.

Milk digestion peptidomics: Tracking caseinophosphopeptides in simulated gastrointestinal digestion

Food Bioscience, 2019
Abstract The dynamics of caseinophosphopeptides (CPP) in simulated gastrointestinal digestion was studied. CPP in the undigested milk and in vitro simulated gastrointestinal hydrolysates were enriched using immobilized titanium(IV) ion affinity chromatography (Ti4+-IMAC) beads and measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Gastrointestinal Senescence and Digestive Diseases of the Elderly

2004
In the absence of disease, the function of the gastrointestinal system is altered very little during aging. Few processes may be designated as inevitable, predictable, biological changes associated with normal aging independent of specific disease states (1). A reserve capacity exists for the gastrointestinal system minimizing the effect of most of the
