21. Analysis of epithelial electrophysiological function in paediatric intestinal biopsies
Abstract : Intestinal biopsies are routinely taken from children under investigation of failure to thrive, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and/or malnutrition. These biopsies are usually only evaluated morphologically, i.e. no information is collected with regard to mucosal function. READ MORE

22. Intestinal adaption in response to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Obesity is a condition with increasing prevalence that leads to morbidity, decreased quality of life and reduced life expectancy. The only effective evidence-based treatment is bariatric surgery. READ MORE

23. Patch clamp and calcium studies on human colonic mucosal cells
Abstract : Background: The main function of the large intestine is to fine-tune electrolyte and water balance. This is achieved through the consorted action of ion channels, transporters and pumps. Failures of this system can lead to diarrhoea. READ MORE

24. Induced Growth and Precocious Maturation of the Digestive System in Suckling Rats and Pigs after Exposure to Red Kidney Bean Lectin
Abstract : The timing of the postnatal development of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in mammals is influenced by dietary and hormonal factors. It was hypothesized that accelerated GI cell turnover during maturation would result in a precoucios conversion to more mature digestive functions. READ MORE

25. Neuro-immune regulation of macromolecular permeability in the normal human colon and in ulcerative colitis
Abstract : Background and aim: Persistent stress and life events affect the course of ulcerative colitis (UC) by largely unknown mechanisms. Regulation of epithelial permeability to antigens is crucial for the balance between inflammation and immuno-surveillance, and increased intestinal permeability has been shown in patients with ulcerative colitis.
