How does the hypothalamus monitor water in the body? A. If blood is too concentrated, the hypothalamus nerve cells will contain too much salt. B. If blood is too concentrated, the hypothalamus registers dehydration in its own cells. C. If blood is too con ...
Thus, a holistic framework including physical form, type, and amount of fiber duly observing its concomitant influence on the liver, brain and gut health is required. Such work can lead us to unravel the consistent effects of fiber in bringing a desirable shift in the intestinal microbiome for...

However, as stated above, meta-analytical approaches have shown that monoxeneous taxa tend to show a higher susceptibility to a larger variety of environmental stressors [14]. Does this mean that monoxeneous endoparasite taxa are the most sensitive and reliable bioindicators? This would certainly...
All affected genes lead to decreased bile salt (BS) secretion. BRIC has been considered an autosomal recessive disorder. However, several studies have demonstrated that heterozygous variants in ATP8B1 or ABCB11 genes can cause BRIC, raising the possibility of haploinsufficiency [17,18,19,20]. ...
In contrast to age, gender does not play a role considering the amount of A. muciniphila [28]. The genome of A. muciniphila (ATCC BAA-835) was sequenced and annotated [12]. These sequences were used to mine 37 reported gastrointestinal tract (GIT) metagenomes derived from adults ...
