Review Article: Novel Enzyme Therapy Design for Gluten Peptide Digestion Through Exopeptidase Supplementation. [PDF]

Aliment Pharmacol Ther
Exopeptidases are key for completing protein digestion, including proline‐rich peptides, and are mostly produced by enterocytes of the intestinal brush border membrane. In coeliac disease, chronic inflammation leads to reduced brush border exopeptidase activity, exacerbating peptide accumulation.

Characteristics of the Intestine Extracts and Their Effect on the Crude Collagen Fibers of the Body Wall from Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Biology, 2023
Sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus will vomit their intestines during certain stimulations, and the collagen of the body wall will then be degraded. To define the effect of the sea cucumber intestine extracts on the body wall, the intestinal extracts ...
