متن کاملGut flora in health and disease.
The human gut is the natural habitat for a large and dynamic bacterial community, but a substantial part of these bacterial populations are still to be described. However, the relevance and effect of resident bacteria on a host's physiology and pathology has been well documented. Major functions of the gut microflora include metabolic activities that result in salvage of energy and absorbable n...
متن کاملGut Flora in the Metabolism of Cyclamate
1. ["'C]Cyclamate was not metabolized when incubated with the liver, spleen, kidney or blood of rats or rabbits kept on a cyclamate-containing diet, and that had become converters of cyclamate into cyclohexylamine. 2. ["'C]Cyclamate was converted into cyclohexylamine when incubated under anaerobic conditions with the contents of the caecum, colon or rectum or with the faeces of cyclamate-pretre...
