The gut as the largest endocrine organ in the body.
Secretin, gastrin and cholecystokinin were the first discovered gut hormones. Today we recognize more than 30 gut hormone genes and a multitude of bioactive peptides, which make the gut the largest endocrine organ in the body. Due to structural homologies gut peptide hormones/growth factors have been divided into separate families. It has been emphasized that those peptides are widely distribut...
متن کاملBridging the Gap between Gut Microbial Dysbiosis and Cardiovascular Diseases
The human gut is heavily colonized by a community of microbiota, primarily bacteria, that exists in a symbiotic relationship with the host and plays a critical role in maintaining host homeostasis. The consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet has been shown to induce gut dysbiosis and reduce intestinal integrity. Recent studies have revealed that dysbiosis contributes to the progression of cardiovas...
متن کاملBrain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in cardiometabolic physiology and diseases.
Important advances in our understanding of the relationships between adipose tissue derived peptides, namely adipokines, and their effects on cardiovascular functions have been achieved in recent years. Growing knowledge of adipokine biology is revealing the complexity of these proteins. Adipose tissue releases some other proteins called neurotrophins that are mainly active in central and perip...
