  2. 1. Effects of Dietary Fibre and Probiotics on Hindgut Fermentation in Healthy Rats and in Rats with Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Colitis and Colon Cancer

    Author : Camilla Bränning; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carboxylic acids; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; hindgut fermentation; Colonic health; prebiotics; microbiota; dietary fibre;

    Abstract : The importance of colonic fermentation has been realised during recent years as it has been found to be associated with colonic health and thus the overall health of the individual. The fermentation of dietary fibre and the addition of probiotics can have positive effects on the luminal environment and the colonic microbiota. READ MORE

  4. 2. Neuromuscular function in the normal and inflamed colon. An experimental study in rat

    Author : Lars Börjesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ATP; dextran sulphate sodium; DMPP; enteric nervous system; McN-A-343; nitric oxide; non-adrenergic; rat; second messenger; smooth muscle; VIP;

    Abstract : Neuromuscular function of the longitudinal muscle layer of distal colon was investigated in segments from normal rats and from rats with colitis induced by dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) at 3% for 3 or 7 days or 5% for 7 days. The study was performed in vitro, on spontaneous tone, or after precontraction. READ MORE

  5. 3. Host Immunity-Microbiota-Virus Interactions at the Intestinal Mucosal surface in Health and Disease

    Author : Kedir Hamza; Virusrekognition; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The presence of viral immune triggers at the intestinal mucosa can have multipleglobal effects on intestinal integrity, including relative protection fromsubsequent inflammatory bowel disease. During the last century, the westernworld has achieved a remarkable success in preventing infectious diseases,which increased the general life expectancy dramatically. READ MORE

  6. 4. From genes to function in autoimmunity : a salty story

    Author : Daniëlle Vaartjes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autoimmunity is a condition in which the ability to tolerate self breaks down, resulting in immune responses against the body’s own healthy cells and tissues. Autoimmune diseases are complex and multifactorial, and both genetic and environmental factors are known to play a crucial role. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sensory and secretory responses to intestinal distension; implications for the pathophysiology of the irritable bowel syndrome

    Author : Marie Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : irritable bowel syndrome; secretion; transmucosal potential difference; migrating motor complex; colorectal distension; visceral sensitivity; colitis; enteric nervous system; rat; mouse;

    Abstract : Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gut disorder, characterized by abdominal pain and/or discomfort associated with disturbed bowel habits. The pathophysiology of IBS is complex and still largely unknown, although visceral hypersensitivity is frequently associated with the disease. READ MORE
