1. Gut peptides in gastrointestinal motility and mucosal permeability
Abstract : Gut regulatory peptides, such as neuropeptides and incretins, play important roles in hunger, satiety and gastrointestinal motility, and possibly mucosal permeability. Many peptides secreted by myenteric nerves that regulate motor control are also produced in mucosal epithelial cells. READ MORE

2. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of antidiuretic peptides
Abstract : The clinical pharmacology of desmopressin and a new vasopressin analogue (F992) was investigated in healthy human subjects. The common procedure of overhydration of healthy volunteers when studying the antidiuretic effect of a drug, may affect the pharmacokinetics, in particular the volumes of distribution. READ MORE

Abstract : Lactobacilli are normal residents of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Many species belonging to the genera Lactobacillus with health beneficial properties have been introduced as probiotics. Genetic engineering of Lactobacillus could potentially combine the colonizing ability and probiotic effect with an engineered therapeutic function. READ MORE
