Humans and animals lack the ability to synthesize carotenoids and dietary intake is necessary. However, the absorption and overall metabolism of carotenoids can be affected by multiple factors, including the morphological constitution of algae that impact directly the digestibility and bioavailability of ...
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) after static cold storage is increasingly used for preservation and assessment of human donor livers prior to transplantation. Biliary viability assessment during NMP reduces the risk of post-transplant biliary complications. However, understanding of molecular changes ...
What causes ulcers? What prevents them? How does endometriosis cause pain? Explain. Why do ascites develop in patients with cirrhosis? Why is it necessary for the stomach contents to be so acidic? Where does bile get stored? (a) What is intestinal obstruction? (b) What symptoms does ...
Why are vitamins considered co-enzymes? a. They are organic and necessary in small quantities for proper enzyme function. b. They are co-dominant. c. They act independently as enzymes. d. They are non-essential. Why is it important that many digestive enzymes of the stomach and small intes...
(EIFs), implicated in ribosomal complex formation necessary for protein synthesis, suggest compensatory mechanisms as a suboptimal cellular repair response to biliary injury35. Furthermore, dehydrogenases associated with metabolic processes, such as NDUFA11, ALDH161A and fatty acid transport proteins such...
Hepatoblast dECM culture has the potential to lead to heterogeneous structures composed of both hepatocytes and cholangiocytes answering many questions relevant to lobule development, such as whether a phenotypic intermediate is necessary for the formation of the Canals of Hering. These initial ...
Food intake data were not normalized to body weight, since this normalization is not necessary when body weight is matched across the groups (Kaiyala and Schwartz, 2011), as it was the case for all our studies. The feed efficiency was calculated by dividing the body weight gain of a given...
Taken together, further studies are necessary to profoundly understand the underlying mechanism of TBA in the progress of GDM. Maternal hyperglycemia less severe than overt diabetes is related to clinically important perinatal disorders such as macrosomia, primary cesarean delivery, premature delivery, ...
Bile is a fluid made by the liver to help digest fats. Hardened deposits of bile form gallstones, which are painful and can cause...
Answer to: Suppose you had a patient that was unable to make bile salts. What digestive processes would be affected and what might be some of the...
