Taste receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. V. Acid sensing in the gastrointestinal tract.
Luminal acidity is a physiological challenge in the foregut, and acidosis can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract as a result of inflammation or ischemia. These conditions are surveyed by an elaborate network of acid-governed mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. Deviations from physiological values of extracellular pH are monitored by multiple acid sensors expressed by epithelial cells a...
متن کاملTaste receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. II. L-amino acid sensing by calcium-sensing receptors: implications for GI physiology.
The extracellular calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) is a multimodal sensor for several key nutrients, notably Ca2+ ions and L-amino acids, and is expressed abundantly throughout the gastrointestinal tract. While its role as a Ca2+ ion sensor is well recognized, its physiological significance as an L-amino acid sensor and thus, in the gastrointestinal tract, as a sensor of protein ingestion is only...
متن کاملEffect of different supplements on eggshell quality, some characteristics of gastrointestinal tract and performance of laying hens
This study was performed to investigate the effects of antibiotic, organic acid, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation on performance, egg shell quality, pH value of gastrointestinal (GI) tract and small intestinal morphology of laying hens. The experiment was a completely randomized design with 160 laying hens strain (W-36) from 32 to 42 weeks of age, with five treatments, four replicates an...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channels in gastrointestinal function
Gastric acid is of paramount importance for digestion and protection from pathogens but, at the same time, is a threat to the integrity of the mucosa in the upper gastrointestinal tract and may give rise to pain if inflammation or ulceration ensues. Luminal acidity in the colon is determined by lactate production and microbial transformation of carbohydrates to short chain fatty acids as well a...
متن کاملInhibitory Effects of Lactobacillus salivarius and Lactobacillus crispatus Isolated from Chicken Gastrointestinal Tract on Salmonella enteritidis and Escherichia coli Growth
Probiotics are live cultures of microbes; often lactic acid bacteria, but also some other species, which when fed to animals, improve their health and growth through altering the intestinal microbial balance. In the present research, healthy chickens’ gastrointestinal (GI) tracts were screened for the presence of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic properties. The probiotic properties of the is...
متن کاملLuminal amino acid sensing in the rat gastric mucosa.
Recent advancements in molecular biology in the field of taste perception in the oral cavity have raised the possibility for ingested nutrients to be "tasted" in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this study was to identify the existence of a nutrient-sensing system by the vagus in the rat stomach. Afferent fibers of the gastric branch increased their firing rate solely with the i...
