At least three receptors have been identified for which FFA appear to be the endogenous ligands.
Book Synopsis Physiological and Clinical Aspects of Short-Chain Fatty Acids by : John H. Cummings
Download or read book Physiological and Clinical Aspects of Short-Chain Fatty Acids written by John H. Cummings and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-12-02 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive volume to look at the importance of short-chain fatty acids in digestion, the function of the large intestine and their role in human health. Short-chain fatty acids are the major product of bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates in the human and animal large intestine. They represent the major end products of digestive processes occurring in the caecum and large intestine. As such, they form an important dietary component and it is increasingly recognised that they may have a significant role in protecting against large bowel cancer and in metabolism. Prepared by an international team of contributors who are at the forefront of this area of research, this volume will be an essential source of reference for gastroenterologists, nutritionists and others active in this area.
Book Synopsis Regulation of Gastrointestinal Mucosal Growth by : Rao N. Jaladanki
Download or read book Regulation of Gastrointestinal Mucosal Growth written by Rao N. Jaladanki and published by Biota Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mammalian gastrointestinal mucosa is a rapidly self-renewing tissue in the body, and its homeostasis is preserved through the strict regulation of epithelial cell proliferation, growth arrest, and apoptosis. The control of the growth of gastrointestinal mucosa is unique and, compared with most other tissue in the body, complex. Mucosal growth is regulated by the same hormones that alter metabolism in other tissues, but the gastrointestinal mucosa also responds to host events triggered by the ingestion and presence of food within the digestive tract. These gut hormones and peptides regulate the growth of the exocrine pancreas, gallbladder epithelium, and the mucosa of the oxyntic gland region of the stomach and the small and large intestines. Luminal factors, including nutrients or other dietary factors, secretions, and microbes that occur within the lumen and distribute over a proximal-to-distal gradient, are also crucial for maintenance of normal gut mucosal regeneration and could explain the villous-height-crypt-depth gradient and variety of adaptation, since these factors are diluted, absorbed, and destroyed as they pass down the digestive tract. Recently, intestinal stem cells, cellular polyamines, and noncoding RNAs are shown to play an important role in the regulation of gastrointestinal mucosal growth under physiological and various pathological conditions. In this book, we highlight key issues and factors that control gastrointestinal mucosal growth and homeostasis, with special emphasis on the mechanisms through which epithelial renewal and apoptosis are regulated at the cellular and molecular levels.

Book Synopsis Regulation of HMG-CoA Reductase by : Benjamin Preiss
Download or read book Regulation of HMG-CoA Reductase written by Benjamin Preiss and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regulation of HMG-CoA Reductase is a nine-chapter text that focuses on the research developments in the regulation of HMG-CoA reductase enzyme and cholesterol biosynthesis. This book deals first with the role of cholesterol in the regulation of its own biosynthesis and the work involving compactin and related competitive inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase. The subsequent chapters examine the reversible phosphorylation of HMG-CoA reductase in hormonal and other short-term physiological changes and the structure and properties of the enzyme, including evidence for modulation of enzyme activity and structure unrelated to phosphorylation. These topics are followed by discussions on the regulation of reductase in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone, dolichols, and isopentenyl-tRNA and the regulation of reductase activity in extrahepatic tissues. This text further explores the contributions made through the use of cultured cells and their genetic manipulation, with emphasis on the great potential of this approach. The concluding chapters address the status of the low-density lipoprotein pathway and related mechanisms. These chapters also consider the regulation of human hepatic HMG-CoA reductase and the special problems inherent in work with human tissues. Enzyme scientists and researchers and graduate students will find this book invaluable.

Download or read book Pharma-Nutrition written by Gert Folkerts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural products and functional/medical foods are now widely acknowledged as having an effect on the microbiome of the intestine, which in turn influences the outcome of certain disease. This book reviews the impact and effects of natural products and functional/medical foods (nutritional programming) on disease management, specifically focusing on diseases related to 1) Inflammation and Immunity, 2) Cancer, COPD and Cachexia, 3) Allergy and 4) Brain Neuro/Immune. Hippocrates said "let medicine be thy food and food be thy medicine". While most of us are familiar with Hippocrates famous words, we admit that in recent times, the disciplines of pharma and nutrition have evolved separately. Today, with the ever growing burden of diseases in modern society, we see a convergence of the two in relation to specific disease prevention and treatment. This re-discovered common ground between the complementary values of pharma and nutrition can be conceptualized in the term pharma-nutrition. Various chapters in the book review the aspects of molecular characteristics of food ingredients towards clinical effectiveness and relevance.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Dietary Fatty Acid Composition on Skeletal Muscle and Hepatic Fatty Acid and Glucose Metabolism in Male and Female Mice by : Lisa Kate Philp
Download or read book The Effect of Dietary Fatty Acid Composition on Skeletal Muscle and Hepatic Fatty Acid and Glucose Metabolism in Male and Female Mice written by Lisa Kate Philp and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian adults consume ~6% above the recommended intake of saturated fat and less than half the recommended daily amount of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). There is some evidence that the type and proportion of dietary fat consumed may influence the development of the obese phenotype and associated metabolic complications. Epidemiological studies indicate that a saturated fat-rich diet (HF-S) is deleterious, whilst consuming n-3 PUFAs is beneficial to metabolic health. Saturated fats have a greater propensity to enter storage in adipose tissue and ectopic stores, as opposed to being oxidised. This is deleterious as ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscle and liver are strongly associated with insulin resistance. In contrast, diets rich in n-3 PUFA limit adipose tissue hypertrophy, reduce ectopic fat and prevent high fat diet (HFD)-induced insulin resistance in rats. However, the mechanism by which n-3 PUFA enrichment of a HF-S diet (HF-n-3) prevents ectopic fat deposition in muscle and liver is unclear; though pathways of fatty acid uptake, storage and oxidation may be implicated. Furthermore, in skeletal muscle a functional shift in fibre type may be implicated, as increased muscle n-3 PUFA content is associated with an increased proportion of oxidative fibres. The studies in this thesis therefore aimed to determine: (I) the effect of HFD fatty acid composition on metabolic profile, adipose tissue distribution, and muscle fibre type composition of male and female mice; (II) if HF-n-3 feeding influenced the mRNA content of 27 key genes that regulate the uptake (FAT/CD36, FABPpm, FATP), synthesis and storage (SREBF, INSIG, SCD, ACC, DGAT, HSL) and utilisation (PDK, PPAR, PGC1, AMPK, ACC, CPT1, UCP) of fatty acids and metabolism of glucose (HK, PFK, GYS) in the glycolytic extensor digitorum longus muscle, oxidative soleus muscle and liver of male and female mice. To assess these aims mice were fed either a control diet (16% energy from fat) or one of two HFDs (60% energy from fat), a HF-S or HF-n-3 (7.5% saturated fat replaced with n-3 PUFA) diet. I investigated the hypothesis that HF-n-3 feeding prevents ectopic fat deposition through enhanced uptake and utilisation, and reduced storage, of fatty acids. Despite similarly increased body weight with both HFDs, mesenteric fat mass decreased and brown fat increased with HF-n-3 feeding compared to HF-S feeding. HF-S feeding increased muscle and liver fat content; this was ameliorated by HF-n-3. As hypothesised, HF-n-3 feeding may ameliorate intramyocellular and intrahepatic fat accumulation through an altered pattern of fatty acid metabolism gene expression in those tissues, specifically through the concurrent activation of pathways regulating fatty acid transport and utilisation, whilst limiting pathways that promote fatty acid storage and lipogenesis. Muscle fibre type composition was unchanged with diet, although HF-n-3 feeding increased muscle oxidative capacity. HF-S mice exhibited increased plasma insulin and glucose metabolism was influenced by HF-n-3 feeding in a tissue-specific manner. These studies highlight the importance of gender and in skeletal muscle, muscle fibre type, to the overall characteristics, profile of gene expression and ultimate function of the skeletal muscle and liver.

Book Synopsis High Calorie Diet and the Human Brain by : Akhlaq A. Farooqui
Download or read book High Calorie Diet and the Human Brain written by Akhlaq A. Farooqui and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to present readers with a comprehensive and cutting edge description of neurochemical effects of diet (beneficial and harmful effects) in normal human brain and to discuss how present day diet promotes pathogenesis of stroke, AD, PD, and depression in a manner that is useful not only to students and teachers but also to researchers, dietitians, nutritionists and physicians. A diet in sufficient amount and appropriate macronutrients is essential for optimal health of human body tissues. In brain, over-nutrition, particularly with high-calorie diet, not only alters cellular homeostasis, but also results in changes in the intensity of signal transduction processes in reward centers of the brain resulting in food addiction. Over-nutrition produces detrimental effects on human health in general and brain health in particular because it chronically increases the systemic and brain inflammation and oxidative stress along with induction of insulin resistance and leptin resistance in the brain as well as visceral organs. Onset of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress not only leads to obesity and heart disease, but also promotes type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which are risk factors for both acute neural trauma (stroke) and chronic age-related neurodegenerative and neuropsychological disorders, such as Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD) and depression.
Book Synopsis Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals by : Rotimi E. Aluko
Download or read book Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals written by Rotimi E. Aluko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Functional food or medicinal food is any fresh or processed food claimed to have a health-promoting and/or disease-preventing property beyond the basic nutritional function of supplying nutrients, although there is no consensus on an exact definition of the term. This is an emerging field in food science, in which such foods are usually accompanied by health claims for marketing purposes, such as a company's ‘cereal is a significant source of fiber. Studies have shown that an increased amount of fiber in one's diet can decrease the risk of certain types of cancer in individuals.’ Functional foods are sometimes called nutraceuticals, a portmanteau of nutrition and pharmaceutical, and can include food that has been genetically modified. The general category includes processed food made from functional food ingredients, or fortified with health-promoting additives, like "vitamin-enriched" products, and also fresh foods (e.g., vegetables) that have specific claims attached. Fermented foods with live cultures are often also considered to be functional foods with probiotic benefits."
Download or read book Prebiotics and Probiotics written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probiotic bacteria are found in the intestinal microbiota of the host and favor multiple metabolic reactions. Prebiotics provide food for probiotic bacteria and have an effect on their own performance in favor of host health. Numerous metabolic and immunological mechanisms are involved in its effects. Probiotics have been studied for several decades and their use for human consumption is still unclear. However, new types of molecules with prebiotic functions and components of probiotic bacteria with therapeutic potential are still being studied. The versatility of these molecules makes their incorporation into human food and animal diets feasible. This book is a compendium of recent scientific information on the use of probiotics and prebiotics for the benefit of human and animal health.
Download or read book Butyrate written by Cong-Jun Li and published by Nova Science Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book specifically devoted to butyrate and its biological functions in the health of humans and animals. It is the result of the collective efforts of a group of international experts working on different aspects of butyrate. It has been recognised for a long time that the consumption of dietary fibres has positive metabolic health effects. These effects are directly associated with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate, formed by the microbial degradation of dietary fibres in the digestive tract. Butyrate-induced biological effects provide examples of epigenomic regulation induced by nutrient elements and provide a basis for understanding the full range of the biological roles and molecular mechanisms that butyrate may play in cell growth, proliferation and energy metabolism. This book is a comprehensive collection of highly innovative research ideas, strategies, and crucial points related to butyrate and its biological functions. With a detailed introduction of recent advances in different but intriguing research fields, this book is a great reference for biochemists, molecular biologists, biomedical scientists and clinical researchers. This book is also a great reference for graduate students working in the related fields of biomedical sciences.
