Nutrient sensors
In the years to come, we will need to do everything we can to help preserve the enjoyment in food and drink of the growing elderly population suffering from a loss of their gustatory and olfactory perception, two senses which are critical to flavour perception, but for which there are no prosthesis (akin to hearing aids and glasses used to compensate for auditory and visual loss). There is also...
متن کاملElectrochemical Sensors for Soil Nutrient Detection: Opportunity and Challenge
Soil testing is the basis for nutrient recommendation and formulated fertilization. This study presented a brief overview of potentiometric electrochemical sensors (ISE and ISFET) for soil NPK detection. The opportunities and challenges for electrochemical sensors in soil testing were
متن کاملAutonomous Microfluidic Sensors for Nutrient Detection: Applied to Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphate, Manganese and Iron
We present the design, fabrication, analysis and characterisation of autonomous high accuracy and sensitivity microfluidic nutrient sensors. A stand-alone sensor platform with integrated sub-systems is demonstrated, which is portable and capable of in-situ reagent-based nutrient analysis. The system is based on a low cost optical detection method, together with an automated microfluidic deliver...
متن کاملA Gutsy Way to Grow: Intestinal Stem Cells as Nutrient Sensors
Adult tissues can rapidly and reversibly change size to adapt to environmental and behavioral influences. In this issue, O'Brien et al. (2011) demonstrate that fly intestinal stem cells alter their division patterns in response to food availability to drive organ growth.
متن کاملMedicinal Plants Qua Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Secretagogue via Intestinal Nutrient Sensors
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) participates in glucose homeostasis and feeding behavior. Because GLP-1 is rapidly inactivated by the enzymatic cleavage of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) long-acting GLP-1 analogues, for example, exenatide and DPP4 inhibitors, for example, liraglutide, have been developed as therapeutics for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the inefficient clinical perfo...
