1. A method for treating a subject to enhance functioning of the large intestine, comprising the step of delivering to the large intestine of the subject a GLP-2 receptor agonist in an amount effective to enhance functioning of the large intestine. 2. A method of treating a subject to pro...
by an ordinary drink followed by induced vomiting. Hot-water bottles may be applied to the legs, and medicinal therapy is useful in regulating the secretory functions of the stomach and intestine. Treatment in chronic gastroenteritis may include long-term dietotherapy, strict observance of a diet...
These are not fibres, having already been transformed by fermentation higher up in the intestines, but the residue of proteins (meats, fish, eggs) and starches (bread, pasta, rice). The other functions of the intestinal flora are to: synthesise vitamins (of the B group); support the ...

The molecular weight of this factor, as determined by gel filtration and SDS-urea gel electrophoresis was estimated to be around 1400-1500. The absence of sialic acid and the molecular weight data suggested that the isolated material was a simple protein and probably a small peptide. Gel ...
Organoids are generated from various types of stem cells, which are induced to form microscopic cell clusters and cultured in vitro as 3D structures; these clusters are also known as “mini-organs” because they mimic the in vivo structures and functions of the corresponding organs.53Organoid for...
