Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Pediatric aerodigestive and upper gastrointestinal (UGI) motility disorders are common and may be associated with compromised nutritional status and decreased quality of life. Traditional dietary recommendations for aerodigestive and UGI motility disorders have been rudimentary and largely based upon experience and common sense ...

Review: Free fatty acid receptors: emerging targets for treatment of diabetes and its complications
Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2010 Fatty acids (FAs) are important as metabolic substrates and as structural components of biological membranes. However, they also function as signalling molecules.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Energy bars are widely consumed functional foods among athletes and physically active consumers who require convenient sources of sustained energy. Their carbohydrate composition, particularly the type and ratio of digestible sugars such as glucose, fructose and sucrose, strongly influences glycaemic index (GI), postprandial blood glucose ...

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2007 We previously demonstrated that electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation both produced antinociception and attenuated intrathecal (i.t.) morphine analgesia, suggesting that EA is capable of inducing two opposing systems, that is, opioid and anti-opioid ...

Novel Fat Taste Receptor Agonists Curtail Progressive Weight Gain in Obese Male MiceSummary
Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023 Background & Aims: The spontaneous preference for dietary lipids is principally regulated by 2 lingual fat taste receptors, CD36 and GPR120. Obese animals and most of human subjects exhibit low orosensory perception of dietary fat because of ...

Small, EarlyView.This study discriminates between sulfated and unsulfated cholecystokinin‐8 gut‐hormone forms at single‐molecule‐level resolution. Using an aerolysin nanopore embedded in a hybrid lipid‐polymer membrane, the system produces distinct electrical signatures enabling highly sensitive detection, even in 20% human serum.

Neonatal local noxious insult affects gene expression in the spinal dorsal horn of adult rats
Molecular Pain, 2005 Neonatal noxious insult produces a long-term effect on pain processing in adults. Rats subjected to carrageenan (CAR) injection in one hindpaw within the sensitive period develop bilateral hypoalgesia as adults.

Activation of multiple receptors stimulates extracellular vesicle release from trophoblast cells
Physiological Reports, 2020 Reports of the stimulated release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) are few, and the mechanisms incompletely understood. To our knowledge, the possibility that the activation of any one of the multitudes of G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed by ...
