Cannabinoids and the Gastrointestinal Tract
Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023The synthesis and degradation of endocannabinoids, location of cannabinoid (CB) receptors, and cannabinoid mechanisms of action on immune/inflammatory, neuromuscular, and sensory functions in digestive organs are well documented. CB2 mechanisms are particularly relevant in immune and sensory functions.

Stress and the gastrointestinal tract
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2005Abstract Stress, defined as an acute threat to homeostasis, evokes an adaptive or allostatic response and can have both a short‐ and long‐term influence on the function of the gastrointestinal tract. The enteric nervous system is connected bidirectionally to the brain by parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways forming the brain–gut axis.

Mucoadhesion and the Gastrointestinal Tract
Critical Reviews in Therapeutic Drug Carrier Systems, 2008The concept of mucoadhesion is one that has the potential to improve the highly variable residence times experienced by drugs and dosage forms at various sites in the gastrointestinal tract, and consequently, to reduce variability and improve efficacy. Intimate contact with the mucosa should enhance absorption or improve topical therapy.

Pharmacology for the gastrointestinal tract
Clinics in Perinatology, 2002A variety of drugs are used in the neonatal nursery for the management of feeding intolerance, gastroesophageal reflux, and acid-related disease. Although the pharmacokinetics of some of these drugs have been described in infants and older children, further data are needed, particularly for preterm infants.

Neuroimmunophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract
American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver PhysiologyGut physiology is the epicenter of a web of internal communication systems (i.e., neural, immune, hormonal) mediated by cell-cell contacts, soluble factors, and external influences, such as the microbiome, diet, and the physical environment. Together these provide the signals that shape enteric homeostasis and, when they go awry, lead to disease ...

Dosimetry of the Gastrointestinal Tract
Health Physics, 1966Abstract This paper briefly reviews the dosimetry of the GI tract given in ICRP Publication 2 and comments on certain aspects of it. New equations are derived for calculations of (MPC) w for the four sections of the GI tract. Values for (MPC) W are calculated from these equations using values for the parameters obtained from Eve.

Nutrition and the gastrointestinal tract
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012In this year’s issue, we again have a high-calibre collection of topical reviews. Gracie and Ford commence with an assessment of the role of symbiotics (i.e. probiotics and prebiotics given together) in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. They first review the many randomized trials of probiotics and the significant and persistent reductions in ...

HEALING IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
Surgical Clinics of North America, 1997Healing in the GI tract is rapid when free of complications: Unlike cutaneous healing, in which progress can be observed on a daily basis and intervention instituted early if necessary, healing of the intestinal anastomosis is anatomically obscured from inspection, allowing the surgeon only the patient's parameters of general well-being to judge the ...
