Low-dose PGE2 mimics the duodenal secretory response to luminal acid in mice.
Luminal exposure to concentrated acid, the most accepted physiological stimulus for duodenal bicarbonate secretion (DBS), cannot be used with in vitro preparations due to potential tissue damage. We thus examined whether exposure to PGE(2), a well-characterized physiological duodenal secretagogue, could mimic the effects of acid perfusion. DBS was measured in C57/BL mice by pH-stat/back-titrati...
متن کاملGut Microbiota Elicits a Protective Immune Response against Malaria Transmission
Glycosylation processes are under high natural selection pressure, presumably because these can modulate resistance to infection. Here, we asked whether inactivation of the UDP-galactose:β-galactoside-α1-3-galactosyltransferase (α1,3GT) gene, which ablated the expression of the Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R (α-gal) glycan and allowed for the production of anti-α-gal antibodies (Abs) in humans, confers...
متن کاملHypotonicity-induced increases in duodenal mucosal permeability facilitates adjustment of luminal osmolality.
The integrated response to hypotonic NaCl solutions (100, 50, 25, and 0 mM NaCl) in proximal duodenum of anesthetized rats was examined. Luminal alkalinization, fluid flux, duodenal contractions, blood-to-lumen clearance of 51Cr-labeled EDTA (mucosal permeability), and perfusate osmolality were studied in the absence and presence of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin. In response to hypo...
متن کاملLuminal L-glutamate enhances duodenal mucosal defense mechanisms via multiple glutamate receptors in rats.
Presence of taste receptor families in the gastrointestinal mucosa suggests a physiological basis for local and early detection of a meal. We hypothesized that luminal L-glutamate, which is the primary nutrient conferring fundamental umami or proteinaceous taste, influences mucosal defense mechanisms in rat duodenum. We perfused the duodenal mucosa of anesthetized rats with L-glutamate (0.1-10 ...
متن کاملDuodenal Mucosal Biopsies
Synthesis of prostaglandins (PGE2, PGI2 and PGF2,:) and thromboxane A2 was investigated in short term incubates of duodenal mucosa biopsies. Mucosa close to the ulcer site synthesised significantly less PGF2a (p<0.001) and PGI2 (p<0-002) measured as its stable metabolite 6-oxo-PGF1, than healthy mucosa from non-ulcer patients. In paired biopsies taken from the ulcer site and opposite the ulcer ...
