Intestinal Electric Stimulation Accelerates Whole Gut Transit and Promotes Fat Excrement in Conscious Rats [PDF]

, 2009
*_Introduction:_* Intestinal electric stimulation (IES) is proposed as a potential tool for the treatment of morbid obesity. Our previous study showed that IES with one pair of electrodes accelerated intestinal transit and decreased fat absorption in a ...

Global trends and epidemiological shifts in gastrointestinal cancers: insights from the past four decades

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiological profiles of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers vary across countries and over time, largely reflecting variations in risk factors and screening practices. We aimed to provide an overview of the current global burden of the five major types of GI cancers and conduct an updated evaluation of the long‐term trends of GI ...

South African Propolis: Anti‐Helicobacter pylori Activity, Chemistry, and Toxicity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Propolis, a resin‐like substance produced by bees, has previously shown antimicrobial activity against the ulcer‐causing gut pathogen Helicobacter pylori. South African propolis, however, was yet to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate a comprehensive range of South African propolis for its antimicrobial activity against H.

Citrus Flavonoids as Antimicrobials

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Citrus flavonoids are powerful and versatile antimicrobials whose mechanism of action often involves disruption of the bacterial membrane, thereby minimizing antimicrobial resistance. This study provides a unified perspective. ABSTRACT Citrus flavonoids are highly bioactive compounds exerting numerous health benefits including anticancer, antioxidant ...

Disruption of salt bridge interactions in the inter‐domain cleft of the tubulin‐like protein FtsZ of Escherichia coli makes cells sensitive to the cell division inhibitor PC190723

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

Mathematical Modeling of Transport and Degradation of Feedstuffs in the Small Intestine [PDF]

, 2011
We describe a mathematical modeling of the digestion in the small intestine. The main interest of our work is to consider, at the same time, different aspects of the digestion i.e.

Synthesis of Rhamnose‐Modified Lewis‐X‐Containing Saponins

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
The synthesis of triterpenoid saponins bearing a Lewis‐X trisaccharide analogue, in which the fucose residue is replaced by a rhamnose, is presented. These saponins, designed as negative controls in dendritic cell‐specific intercellular adhesion molecule‐3‐grabbing nonintegrin‐targeted therapeutic applications, are prepared through iterative and ...

Autocrine and paracrine Wingless signalling in the Drosophila midgut by both continuous gradient and asynchronous bursts of wingless expression [PDF]

, 2016
Wingless (Wg)/ Wnt signalling is a major regulator of homeostasis in both the mammalian andDrosophilaintestine. InDrosophilathe organisation and function of Wingless signalling in the adult intestine remain poorly understood.
