The primary bile acids (BAs) are synthetized from cholesterol in the liver, conjugated to glycine or taurine increase their solubility, secreted into bile, concentrated gallbladder during fasting, and expelled intestine response dietary fat. BAs also bio-transformed colon secondary by gut microbiota, reabsorbed ileum back minimally lost feces. not only regulate digestion absorption of cholesterol, triglycerides, fat-soluble vitamins, but play a key role as signaling molecules modulating...
Bile acids (BAs) regulate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol and lipids but have also a key role as signaling molecules in modulation epithelial cell proliferation, gene expression metabolism. These homeostatic pathways, when disrupted, are able to promote local inflammation, systemic metabolic disorders and, ultimately, cancer. The effect hydrophobic BAs, particular, can be linked with cancer several digestive (mainly oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, biliary tract,...
Intestinal permeability (IP) is essential in maintaining gut-metabolic functions health. An unequivocal evaluation of IP, as marker intestinal barrier integrity, however, missing health and several diseases. We aimed to assess IP the whole gastrointestinal tract according body mass index (BMI) liver steatosis. In 120 patients (61F:59M; mean age 45 ± SEM 1.2 years, range: 18-75), was distinctively studied by urine recovery orally administered sucrose (SO, stomach), lactulose/mannitol ratio...
Social containment measures imposed in Europe during the lockdown to face COVID-19 pandemic can generate long-term potential threats for metabolic health.A cohort of 494 non-COVID-19 subjects living 21 EU countries were interviewed by an anonymous questionnaire exploring anthropometric and lifestyle changes 1-month lockdown. A subgroup 41 overweight/obese Italian with previously diagnosed nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) joined study following a 12-month follow-up period promoting weight...
Several gallstone patients complain of dyspeptic symptoms, irrespective the presence typical colicky pain. Symptoms often persist after a cholecystectomy. Systematic studies on dyspepsia and dynamic gastrointestinal motor function are missing in with preserved gallbladder or
Sexual dimorphism accounts for significant differences in adipose tissue mass and distribution. However, how the crosstalk between visceral ectopic fat depots occurs which are determinants of expansion dysfunction remains unknown. Here, we focused on impact gender epicardial role adipocytokines high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). A total 141 outward patients (both men women) with one or more defining criteria metabolic syndrome (MetS) were consecutively enrolled. For all patients,...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterised by the presence of hepatic steatosis in absence other causes secondary fat accumulation, and usually associated with visceral, metabolically active obesity. However, subclinical effects body accumulation on function are still unclear.We used orally administered (13C)-methacetin breath test to quantify efficiency extraction from portal blood flow microsomal 81 participants, relation presence/absence ultrasonographic NAFLD, extent...
Objective Historically, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) has been instrumental to identifying malnutrition in children under 5 years living resource restricted settings. Less attention is directed at-risk, school-aged youth. Updated and validated pediatric age- gender-specific MUAC growth curves expand screening opportunities (2 months-18 years) including overweight/obesity. An innovative partnership was created integrate z -score measurement trainings screenings the Real Madrid...
Background & Aims: 13 C-Urea Breath Test (UBT) is a non-invasive, highly accurate and recommended test to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection confirm post-therapy eradication. However, differences exist in terms of manufacturers, dose labelled urea, addition citric acid, solid vs. liquid formulation, sampling times breath samples. In this study, we compared the diagnostic accuracy “short” (15 minutes) “standard” (30 time for single type UBT. Methods: We performance UBT...
