Bugging of the Intestinal Mucosa

New England Journal of Medicine, 2007
Invasive E. coli adhere to enterocytes in patients with Crohn's disease before invading the cells. A recent study implicates carcinoembryonic antigen–related cell-adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) in the mediation of this adherence.

Intestinal Mucosa in Nephropathic Cystinosis

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1987
SummaryThe major manifestations of nephropathic cystinosis are renal tubular acidosis, vitamin D‐resistant rickets, and dwarfism. Cystine crystals are deposited in a variety of cells, mainly phagocytic, including macro‐phages of the intestinal lamina propria.

Integrative immunophysiology in the intestinal mucosa

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 1994
Over the past ten years, it has become evident that intestinal epithelial functions such as ion secretion are a host defense response to the presence of antigens, microbes, and other noxious substances in the gut lumen. Such responses are mediated by the activation of immune cells in the mucosa causing release of chemical mediators that act directly ...

To Make a New Intestinal Mucosa

Rejuvenation Research, 2006
A number of clinical conditions are caused by disorders affecting the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Some patients suffer from a loss of mucosal surface area due to congenital defects or due to surgical resections ("short bowel syndrome").

Neuroimmunomodulation in the Intestinal Mucosa

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1991
The intestine contains major subdivisions of the nervous and immune systems. The lymphoid compartments of the intestine contain functionally distinguishable populations of immunologic cells and are innervated differently. The lamina propria has an extensive network of nerves using the neuropeptides SOM, SP, and VIP.

Adenosine is a vasodilator in the intestinal mucosa

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 1991
The vasoactivity of adenosine in the intestinal mucosa of anesthetized dogs was determined using two experimental techniques. By use of the microsphere technique, infusion of adenosine (1 mumol/min ia) was found to increase significantly venous outflow and mucosal and muscularis blood flows in both jejunum (+77, +72, and +78%) and ileum (+111, +146 ...

Neurobiology of the intestinal mucosa

Gastroenterology, 1986
The importance of the enteric nervous system for coordinating and programming the digestive modes of the gastrointestinal effecters is well recognized. Attention has been focused in the past on the involvement of intrinsic nerves in generating specific motility patterns of the smooth muscle effecters, with little regard for the influence of intrinsic ...

The metabolism of glycerol by intestinal mucosa

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1963
Abstract Consistent with recent observations that glycerol is metabolized by the intestinal mucosa evidence is presented for the presence of an active intestinal glycerokinase. Two spectrophotometric assays were used to demonstrate the enzyme activity.

CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase in intestinal mucosa

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1986
CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase is thought to be a rate-limiting enzyme in phosphatidylcholine synthesis. This enzyme has not been well studied in intestine. We found that activity was greater in the non-lipid stimulated state (cytosolic form of the enzyme) than any previous tissue investigated (2.7 nM/min per mg protein).

Serotonergic Integration In the Intestinal Mucosa

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2020
Mucosal serotonin (5-HT) is a key paracrine signaling molecule in the integrated physiology of enterochromaffin cells, enteric mast cells, spinal afferent nerves and the enteric nervous system (ENS). Enterochromaffin cells release 5-HT as a paracrine signal to enteric mast cells, spinal afferents and neurons in the ENS.
