Intestinal lipoprotein metabolism

Intestinal lipoprotein metabolism.

The intestine has long been recognized as n organ active in lipoprotein formation. This is hardly surprising when one considers the large quantities of dietary and endogenous lipids that traverse the intestinal mucosa daily and are absorbed into the mesenteric lymph as lipoproteins. Until recently, the major focus of research on intestinal ipoprotein metabolism was concerned with the intesti...

Interaction between Intestinal Microbiota and Serotonin Metabolism

Gut microbiota regulates the production of signaling molecules, such as serotonin or 5-Hydroxytryptamine: 5-HT in the host. Serotonin is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the gut and brain. There is a perfect interaction between human gastrointestinal microbiota and the serotonin system. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the serotonin signaling pathways through the...

Pituitary Regulation of Plasma Lipoprotein Metabolism and Intestinal Cholesterol Absorption

Gut Peptides Are Novel Regulators of Intestinal Lipoprotein Secretion: Experimental and Pharmacological Manipulation of Lipoprotein Metabolism.

Individuals with metabolic syndrome and frank type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, partially due to the presence of lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities. In these conditions, the liver and intestine overproduce lipoprotein particles, exacerbating the hyperlipidemia of fasting and postprandial states. Incretin-based, antidiabetes therapies (i.e., glucag...

Intestinal metabolism.

The anatomy of the intestine is outlined. The kinetics of cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration in intestinal epithelium are described. The distribution of cell types between the proliferation and differentiation compartments of the epithelium is summarized. Seven preparations of intestine in current use for metabolic studies are listed. An outline review is presented of recent res...
