Influence of gut function, on SIRS and clinical outcomes in surgical patients
… a highly complex organ system with multitude of functions. Gastrointestinal dysfunction remains an unrecognised clinical entity in day to day clinical practice hence it is possible many patients are inadequately managed resulting in poorer clinical outcomes. Recognising gut failure and early …

Relationship of feeding practices, anthropometric status and gut function in infants in Dzimauli Community in South Africa
… Inappropriate feeding practices affect gut function in infants by damaging the mucosa of the small intestine. Feeding practices such as formula feeding and early introduction of weaning food can have profound consequences on growth, development, and survival chances of infants and young …

Corticotropin-releasing factor and acute post-operative gut function in truamatic abdominal injury and elective abdominal surgery
… display somewhat unexplained gastrointestinal dysfunction including delayed gastric emptying, ileus and increased bowel permeability. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of CRF in critically ill adults with traumatic abdominal injury compared with elective surgical patients, and …

Gut failure: Diagnosis and management
Background: Inadequate gut function (IGF) or intestinal failure (IF) is common, particularly in surgical patients and the critically ill. It is difficult to measure objectively, and as a consequence its effects on outcome are contentious and treatment options are limited. Because of the gut's …

Ultrastructure and function of the gastrointestinal tract in marine herbivorous fishes
… of endosymbiotic microbiota in the hindgut, and the association of microbiota with degradation of algal fragments were also examined. The overall aim was to provide a detailed description of the GIT in these fishes to improve understanding of gut function. Substantial variation in gut …

Molecular mechanisms of strain-stimulated intestinal epithelial cell differentiation and migration
… to repetitive deformation during normal gut function by peristalsis and villous motility. In vitro, cyclic strain promotes intestinal epithelial proliferation and induces an absorptive phenotype characterized by increased dipeptidyl dipeptidase (DPPIV) expression. Schlafen 3 is a novel …

The Role of Short-Chain Fatty Acids on Intestinal Epithelial Cell Migration
… into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) by the gut microbiota and is vital to proper gut function. Previous studies have found that diets lacking fiber, SCFAs, or receptors for SCFAs predispose both animals and humans to IBD and colorectal cancer. However, in order to utilize SCFAs for clinical …

Rice bran supplementation modulates environmental enteric dysfunction markers and serum metabolites in weaning Nicaraguan infants
… and mitigate environmental enteric dysfunction (EED). The objective was to analyze the effects of dietary RB supplementation on growth, EED biomarkers, and serum metabolites in healthy, weaning infants from six-to-twelve months old residing in León, Nicaragua. Effects of dietary RB …

Gut microbes and serum metabolomics in canine with diabetes mellitus
… transplantation (FMT) may help improve gut function and glycemic control of diabetic dogs. The results presented herein are part of a larger prospective randomized, place-controlled, double blinded clinical study that evaluated the effects of FMT on diabetic dogs compared to placebo …

Human milk oligosaccharide supplementation did not affect gut development in the healthy neonatal piglet
… health of the baby and cultivating a healthy gut microbiota population. It also has the ability to modulate gut function, but its effects in the gut of the healthy IUGR piglet are largely unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of supplementation of HMOs in piglet formula on gut …

High-Throughput Discovery of Stimuli of Bacterial Two-Component Systems from the Human Gut Microbiome
The human gut microbiota is a dense and diverse community of bacteria that interact with the host and have major impacts on health and disease. Two-component systems (TCS) are the primary means by which bacteria, including those in the gut microbiome, sense and adapt to their environment. The …

Skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations in response to an acute high fat diet
… is critical to maintaining healthy metabolic function. Habitual high fat intake has been associated with reduced oxidative capacity, insulin resistance, increased gut permeability, inflammation, and other risk factors often preceding metabolic disease states. The disruption of gut function …

The impact of post operative oedema on clinical recovery and its potential causes
… such as the recovery of gastrointestinal function, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay is unclear.<br/>Observational studies were therefore conducted on patients undergoing MAS. The presence of oedema was related to changes whole-body impedance (Z), obtained at four …

Unravelling the role of tryptophan metabolism in the microbiota-gut-brain axis: focus on the effects of stress and exercise
The involvement of the microbiota-gut-brain axis communication in brain function and behaviour has enabled a paradigm shift in neuroscience, neurogastroenterology and psychiatric research. Two key routes of this bidirectional communication are impaired in stress-related disorders: the …

DIETARY BIOACTIVES IN THE MODULATION OF METABOLIC, FUNCTIONAL AND AGING BIOMARKERS
… including cardiometabolic regulation, intestinal function, and healthy aging. In particular, dietary (poly)phenols and xanthines have gained attention for their potential benefits on several metabolic and functional biomarkers. However, the mechanisms are not completely understood and the evidence …

MUSCLE-SPECIFIC MECP2 MISEXPRESSION INDUCES SKELETAL AND VISCERAL MUSCLE DEFECTS RESCUED BY BUTYRATE SUPPLEMENTATION IN DROSOPHILA
… Rett syndrome (RTT), linked to loss-of-function mutations, and MECP2 duplication syndrome (MDS), linked to overexpression. Although widely studied for their neurological symptoms, these disorders also display prominent non-exclusively neurological features, including gastrointestinal …
