Describe the structure and function of the gallbladder and liver and state the role of bile in digestion.Accessory Digestive Organs:The accessory organs of the digestive system are those organs which are not part of the digestive tract but helps in the diges...
They can restore microbial diversity, enhance the gut barrier, regulate bile acid metabolism, reduce inflammation, regulate insulin balance, and counteract metabolic disruptions. Antioxidative properties protect against lipid peroxidation and MNP-related reproductive system damage. Probiotics can also bind and...
Particularly, HNF6 is predominantly expressed in the liver, and its functioning is more closely related to liver metabolism than that of the other HNFs. Notably, HNF6 is a transcriptional activator of genes that regulate bile homeostasis, glucose transport, and lipid metabolism (Russ-Silsby et al...
How does the liver aid in digestion in a frog? What is the main function of the digestive system? Explain the role of the liver in the formation of urea. What is the digestive function of the pancreas? What are bile acids? What is their role in the digestion of lipids?
Bile acids (BAs) can regulate their own metabolism and transport as well as other key aspects of metabolic homeostasis via dedicated (nuclear and G protein-coupled) receptors. Disrupted BA transport and homeostasis results in the development of cholestat

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumors in the digestive system, and the majority of patients are found to be in advanced stages, which is a burden to human health all over the world. Moreover, in recent years, CRC has been progressively becoming younger, with an increas...
Colorectal cancer is the most common type of cancer in the digestive system and poses a major threat to human health. The gut microbiota has been found to be a key factor influencing the development of colorectal cancer. Extracellular vesicles are import
1 The biliary tree performs several important functions in digestive physiology, from bile production to liver/regeneration and repair after liver damage.2,3 The epithelial cells that line the bile ducts (i.e. cholangiocytes) are also the primary target in a variety of chronic liver diseases ...
