Microfluidic devices for automated analysis of ingested bacteria in the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine

In this thesis, we explored on-chip high-resolution imaging of the fate of intestinal bacteria and bacterial products in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). In the first part, we carried out high-resolution z-stack fluorescent imaging of Red Fluorescent P ...

The Receptor TGR5 Mediates the Prokinetic Actions of Intestinal Bile Acids and Is Required for Normal Defecation in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Abnormal delivery of bile acids (BAs) to the colon as a result of disease or therapy causes constipation or diarrhea by unknown mechanisms. The G protein-coupled BA receptor TGR5 (or GPBAR1) is expressed by enteric neurons and endocrine ...

Detection of neuronal activity and metabolism in a model of dehydration-induced anorexia in rats at 14.1T using manganese-enhanced MRI and 1H MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Nathalie Just

In this study, hypothalamic activation was performed by dehydration-induced anorexia (DIA) and overnight food suppression (OFS) in female rats. The assessment of the hypothalamic response to these challenges by manganese-enhanced MRI showed increased neuro ...

A tissue-engineered model of the intestinal lacteal for evaluating lipid transport by lymphatics

Melody Swartz, Sandeep Raghunathan, James Brandon Dixon

Lacteals are the entry point of all dietary lipids into the circulation, yet little is known about the active regulation of lipid uptake by these lymphatic vessels, and there lacks in vitro models to study the lacteal-enterocyte interface. We describe an i ...

Nuclear receptors. I. PPAR gamma in the gastrointestinal tract: gain or pain?

Johan Auwerx

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma) has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colon cancer. The observation that PPAR gamma agonists, through immune modulation, protect against in ...
