The cecum was located in the right upper quadrant in 27% of children aged 0-2 years but in the right lower quadrant in all 9-11 year olds. These data provide useful information on the length of the large intestine and its component parts in living children, which are particularly relevant...
This is not surprising, given the resistance of NSP to the digestive action of human gastrointestinal enzymes and the assumption that starch, the major polysaccharide in humans diets, is digested completely in the human small intestine. Now, there is evidence that a considerable fraction of dietary...
Telomeres shorten with each cell division, serving as biomarkers of aging, with human tissues exhibiting short telomeres and restricted telomerase expression. In contrast, mice have longer telomeres and widespread telomerase activity, limiting their rele
of mucus, while the reverse is true for Crohn’s disease.18 Since the gene that encodes a major component of gel forming mucin of the large intestine,MUC2, located on 11p15.5, shows a high level of genetically determined polymorphism in length,19-21 it has been considered as a potential ...
To contribute toward a molecular understanding of aging, we analyzed age-resolved transcriptomic data from multiple studies. Here, we show that transcript length alone explains most transcriptional changes observed with aging in mice and humans. We present three lines of evidence supporting the ...
Genome research in farm animals will expand our basic knowledge of the genetic control of complex traits, and the results will be applied in the livestock industry to improve meat quality and productivity, as well as to reduce the incidence of disease. A combination of quantitative trait locus ...
Background: Telomeres are protective nucleoprotein structures at the end of chromosomes that shorten with age. Telomere length (TL) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been proposed as surrogate marker for TL in the entire organism. Soli
However, a large amount of microbial genomes and gene families are unknown or incomplete, which affects the accuracy and completeness of the analysis. According to current publications, for metatran- scriptomic data, there were about 19–42% unassigned reads in marine water samples8, about 10–...
There were various sex differences in size of the large intestine. Length and surface area of the entire large intestine in males were shorter and smaller respectively than those in females. Lengths of the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon and rectum in males were shorter than those in ...
