Enzymatic Studies on Digestive Diseases

Studies on Enzymatic Histochemistry

Extraction experiments demonstrated that choline esterase could be removed from microtome sections of tissue with as great facility by 0.9 per cent NaCl as by 30 per cent glycerol. The quantitative distribution of choline esterase through the wall of the pig stomach was studied, and it was found that the epithelial cell region possessed the greatest activity and muscle tissue the least. Pylorus...

However, urine testing four times daily would seem to be a standard of perfection beyond reach and counting the total number of uri...

Intestinal Microbiota in Digestive Diseases.

BACKGROUND In recent years, especially after the development of sophisticated metagenomic studies, research on the intestinal microbiota has increased, radically transforming our knowledge about the microbiome and its association with health maintenance and disease development in humans. Increasing evidence has shown that a permanent alteration in microbiota composition or function (dysbiosis) ...
