Three Gastrointestinal Assays
Gastrointestinal (GI) functionality relies on the spontaneous, rhythmic and coordinated propagation of muscular contractions in the GI tract, or GI motility. Without these coordinated motor patterns, digestion falters, and results in problems with digestion. Disrupted or un-coordinated motor …

Gastrointestinal Disorders in Women
… has sought to clarify the influence of gender in gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Women with different hormone profiles were investigated, their colonic microbiota was characterized, and the impact of lifestyle and risk factors for GI disease were examined. In a pilot study, the relation between …

Factors governing gastrointestinal motility
… investigates the putative role of changes in gastrointestinal (GI) motility and GI hormones as well as the possible significance of alterations in energy expenditure that occur as a consequence of weight loss.Methodology: My preliminary studies involved a systematic review of GI motility in …

The Gastrointestinal Absorption of Lead
The transport of environmentally relevant concentrations of the lead cation has been investigated using the everted sac preparation. Only a small percentage of lead was transported into the serosal compartment but there was a rapid and massive uptake on to the tissue. There was no Significant …

Noncanonical NF-KB in Gastrointestinal Disease
… to inflammatory and neoplastic disease in the gastrointestinal (GI) system, as well as the effects of its loss on GI health. Chapter 1 opens with an overview of gastrointestinal homeostasis and inflammation, with emphasis on the particular diseases studied in this body of work. Chapter 2 …

Mast cells in gastrointestinal helminth infection
… role in host protective responses against the gastrointestinal (GI) nematode parasite, Trichinella spiralis. It is believed that mast cell recruitment and activation may be associated with parasite expulsion from mice. In the current study, we demonstrate the role of mucosal mast cell (MMC) in …

Factors Governing Gastrointestinal Colonization of Candida albicans
Candida albicans can colonize the human gastrointestinal tract (GI) and cause disseminated infections in immunocompromised hosts. Depletion of specific gut commensal microbiota is associated with or results in increased C. albicans burden in the gut and increased likelihood of dissemination in …

Nitric oxide in the rat gastrointestinal tract
… and the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the rat gastrointestinal tract. The major objectives were (i) to characterise NOS isoforms in the gastric glandular mucosa, (ii) to localise NOS isoforms in the rat gastric glandular mucosa, (iii) to investigate the role of NO in carbachol-stimulated …

BIOENGINEERING CHITOSAN-BASED TUBULAR NEURO-MUSCULAR GASTROINTESTINAL TISSUE
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a hollow muscular tubular organ that extends from the mouth down to the rectum. Different high pressure zones exist along the tract and are referred to as sphincters. Sphincters maintain a closure tone and relax upon receiving the appropriate signal to allow …

Uncovering Signalling Pathways Mediating Gastrointestinal Morphogenesis and Tumorigenesis
The gastrointestinal system undergoes remarkable morphogenesis during development, in which a simple, smooth tube rapidly rearranges to form millions of finger-like projections called villi that line the entire intestinal tract. While gastrointestinal development requires precisely coordinated …

VALORIZATION OF CHESTNUT BY-PRODUCT FOR GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH
… extracts was assessed by following gastric and gastrointestinal digestion. The chemical characterization confirmed the presence of bioactive polyphenols in the extracts, including ellagitannins. In CaCo-2 cells stimulated by an IL-1β-IFN-γ cocktail, nearly all chestnut by-products (50 μg/mL) …

Optical diagnostics for oral and gastrointestinal tract pathologies
Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) are a significant global health burden. They are a precursor to oral cancer and indicate a tissue with a higher risk of developing a malignancy. Early diagnosis can improve patient outcomes by minimally invasive treatment, reduced mortality rate and …
