Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite system that tells us when we've had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergens and then store them safely aw...
digestion- the process of decomposing organic matter (as in sewage) by bacteria or by chemical action or heat chemical action,chemical change,chemical process- (chemistry) any process determined by the atomic and molecular composition and structure of the substances involved ...
Chemical digestion involves the catalytic processing of food in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by digestive enzymes, aided by co-secreted substances, required to break down the food substances into simpler molecules for absorption. This process is necessary for transport and subsequent metabolic reaction...
How are enzymes involved in regulating energy metabolism? What role do enzymes play in metabolism? How does the digestive system contribute to energy metabolism? How is ATP used in energy metabolism? How does energy metabolism produce heat?
include the teeth‚ tongue‚ salivary glands‚ liver‚ gallbladder‚ and pancreas. To achieve the goal of providing energy and nutrients to the body‚ six major functions take place in the digestive system ingestion‚ Secretion‚ mixing and movement‚digestion‚ absorption and excretio...
NBMs of different chemical nature—lipid-surfactant nanoparticles (LSNPs), carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), surface modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FNPs) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HNPs)—were treated in a simulated human digestive system (SHDS) and then characterised. The biological effects of SH...

(FNPs) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HNPs)—were treated in a simulated human digestive system (SHDS) and then characterised. The biological effects of SHDS-treated and untreated NBMs were evaluated on primary (HCoEpiC) and immortalised (Caco-2, HCT116) epithelial intestinal cells and on an...
