Intestinal Lipid Metabolism

Effect of catechin on intestinal lipid metabolism.

On analysing the effect of catechin on intestinal lipid metabolism, an increase in the concentration of cholesterol in the duodenum and jejunum was observed along with an increase in the HMGCoA reductase activity. In the in vitro experiments also it was found that cholesterol and free fatty acid (FFA) levels were increased in these two regions. Binding of catechin with cholesterol in the lumen,...

Interaction between Intestinal Microbiota and Serotonin Metabolism

Gut microbiota regulates the production of signaling molecules, such as serotonin or 5-Hydroxytryptamine: 5-HT in the host. Serotonin is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the gut and brain. There is a perfect interaction between human gastrointestinal microbiota and the serotonin system. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the serotonin signaling pathways through the...

Overview and introduction: thematic review series on intestinal lipid metabolism.

Journal of Lipid Research Volume 56, 2015 487 Copyright © 2015 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. The last decade has seen extraordinary advances in our understanding of intestinal lipid metabolism, driven at least in part through attempts to mitigate the ongoing epidemic of obesity and metabolic disease ( 1 ). For example, weight loss strategies including gast...

GLP1, an Important Regulator of Intestinal Lipid Metabolism.

Korean pine nut oil replacement decreases intestinal lipid uptake while improves hepatic lipid metabolism in mice

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Consumption of pine nut oil (PNO) was shown to reduce weight gain and attenuate hepatic steatosis in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). The aim of this study was to examine the effects of PNO on both intestinal and hepatic lipid metabolism in mice fed control or HFD. MATERIALS/METHODS Five-week-old C57BL/6 mice were fed control diets containing 10% energy fat from either So...
