Intestinal health in carnivores
2015The knowledge on the influence of gastro-intestinal (GI) microbiota on the health status of humans and animals is rapidly expanding. A balanced microbiome may provide multiple benefits to the host, like triggering and stimulation of the immune system, acting as a barrier against possible pathogenic micro-organism, and providing energy and nutritional ...

Commensal fungi in intestinal health and disease
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2023The microbiota is known to influence several facets of mammalian development, digestion and disease. Most studies of the microbiota have focused on the bacterial component, but the importance of commensal fungi in health and disease is becoming increasingly clear. Although fungi account for a smaller proportion of the microbiota than bacteria by number,

Systems biology – applications in intestinal health
2015Livestock production is changing worldwide. The ban on antibiotic growth promoters in Europe, the shift of animal production centres to Brazil or Eastern Europe, increase in demand for traceability and natural production, and the emergence of new diseases, are all forcing livestock producers to adapt to new husbandry, management, nutrition and ...

Intestinal Mucins in Health and Disease
Digestion, 1978Intestinal mucins are complex glycoproteins which are secreted from goblet cells, and form a gel-like covering over the mucosal surface. They are assumed to provide lubrication and protection of the underlying epithelium against potentially injurious chemicals, enzymes, bacteria and dietary constituents.

Intestinal Microecology in Health and Wellness
Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2011Intestinal microecology consists of 4 components-the luminal gastrointestinal tract, secretions of the tract, the epithelium, nutrients and foods that enter the tract, and the microbatome or microflora. This ecosystem is very dynamic. It is not possible to define a normal flora as it varies with geography, diet, and the dynamics of the microecology.

Intestinal absorption in health and disease: micronutrients
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2003The main theme of this chapter concerns the precise biochemical mechanisms involved in stages up to, and including, gastrointestinal absorption of vitamins and certain selected minerals. Essential data regarding sequential events, immediately following absorption of these micronutrients, are also included.

Intestinal absorption in health and disease—sugars
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2003Carbohydrates are mostly digested to glucose, fructose and galactose before absorption by the small intestine. Absorption across the brush border and basolateral membranes of enterocytes is mediated by sodium-dependent and -independent membrane proteins.

Amino Acids in Intestinal Physiology and Health
2020Dietary protein digestion is an efficient process resulting in the absorption of amino acids by epithelial cells, mainly in the jejunum. Some amino acids are extensively metabolized in enterocytes supporting their high energy demand and/or production of bioactive metabolites such as glutathione or nitric oxide. In contrast, other amino acids are mainly
