The presence of BSH activity was assessed by the appearance of a distinctive white precipitate, which corresponds to the deconjugated bile acid on the TDC-supplemented agar plates after 48 h incubation. L. plantarum WT was used as positive control. Haemolytic activity Isolated strains were ...
Describe the following regarding bile. (a) Source (organ) (b) Molecular structure (c) Primary function (d) Emulsification need Which organ produces bile juice in animals? A. eye B. mouth C. liver D. intestines What is the main function of the small intesti...
(Fig. 6E). Our 16 S rRNA sequence results revealed a downregulation of Clostridia and Lachnospircaeae upon XKY-H treatment, which were reported to be increased in mice fed a high-fat diet, related to secondary bile acid production and positively correlated with the levels of DCA and LCA,...
The bile duct is a tubular epithelial tissue, which plays an important role in the transport of bile produced by hepatocytes into the duodenum. The bile duct is grossly classified into the intrahepatic bile duct (IHBD) and the extrahepatic bile duct (EHBD), which are lined with mature biliar...
Hepatocytes are stimulated by other cells and start to proliferate; the proliferating hepatocyte clusters in turn stimulate the proliferation of other cells; the damaged liver returns to its normal structure Full size image The liver lobule is the basic histological unit of the liver, which can be...
Hedgehog signals are produced by epithelial cells and act directly on Hedgehog receptor-expressing mesenchymal cells, preserving them to produce BMPs, which bind to their receptors expressed by epithelial cells counteracting the Wnt pathway. TA, transit-amplifying. Another important protein family ...
Molecular docking is a computational technique that predicts the binding affinity of ligands to receptor proteins. Although it has potential uses in nutraceutical research, it has developed into a formidable tool for drug development. Bioactive substance
Blood Fractionation: Blood fractionation is a process in which the blood is separated into three different fractions through the process of centrifugation. The densest components settle at the bottom of the centrifuge tube and the less dense components of the blood settle at ...
Conversion of the primary bile acids cholic acid (CA) and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) to the secondary bile acids deoxycholic acid (DCA) and lithocholic acid (LCA) is performed by a few species of intestinal bacteria in the genus Clostridium through a multistep biochemical pathway that removes ...
Bile salts enhanced the digestibility of Pru p 3 resulting in an ensemble of around 100 peptides spanning the protein’s sequence which were linked by disulphide bonds into structures of ~ 5–6 kDa. IgE binding studies with a serum panel from peach allergic subjects showed digestion ...
