  2. 1. Microbial regulation of Insulin-like peptide 5 and its implication on metabolism and bariatric surgery

    Author : Ying Shiuan Lee; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; gut hormones; Insulin-like peptide 5; bariatric surgery;

    Abstract : The microbial community in our gastrointestinal tract, the gut microbiota, has great impact on our physiology. Particularly, the role for gut microbiota in host health and disease has been associated with modulation of gut hormones which are key players in the regulation of energy homeostasis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Whole grain cereal products and baseline gut microbiota composition in metabolic and appetite regulation in healthy humans - Emphasizing rye and barley

    Author : Jonna Sandberg; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; Type 2 Diabetes; Whole grain; Rye; Barley; Gut microbiota; Glucose regulation; Gut fermentation;

    Abstract : The prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing continuously worldwide. These metabolic diseases are associated with many health issues, including increased risk of depression and cognitive impairment. Whole grain (WG) has shown potential to prevent obesity, T2D and CVD.

  5. 3. Upper gastrointestinal motility, gut hormones and food intake : a study in normal weight and obese humans

    Author : Erik Näslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The regulation of food intake in man is complex and poorly understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate how a rapid stimulation of the distal small bowel with nutrients influences upper gastrointestinal motility, some gut peptides and food intake in man.

  6. 4. The small bowel and functional dyspepsia : peptide hormones and neurotransmitters

    Author : Anne-Barbara Witte; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Functional dyspepsia (FD) is believed to be caused by pathophysiological changes in the upper gut. Gastro-intestinal motility, epithelial transport and signalling is associated with the metabolism of nutrients and the complex regulation of hunger and satiety. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide YY (PYY) are considered “hot targets”. READ MORE

  7. 5. Alcohol and the effect on some appetite-regulating hormones in man

    Author : Jan Calissendorff; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Leptin; ghrelin; octanoylated; PYY3-36; GLP-1; obestatin; alcohol; NPY; IGF-1; IGFBP-1; insulin; glucose; testosterone; cortisol; catecholamines;

    Abstract : Beverage containing alcohol has been used for centuries to stimulate appetite. Ingestion of a moderate amount of alcohol increase energy intake. Regulation of food intake is complex. Several factors cooperate such as neural impulses from sensory organs; sight, smell, gut distension, social setting, memory, current energy status and hormones. READ MORE
