Mechanical and chemical stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa exerts negative and
positive feedback regulation of secretory and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract. The …

Although it is well established that the presence of nutrients in the gut lumen can bring about
changes in GI function, the mechanisms and pathways by which these changes occur has …

The ability of nutrients in the intestinal lumen to exert feedback control over the proximal
gastrointestinal tract function is well recognized, yet the control mechanisms are poorly …

Although the gastrointestinal (GI) tract possesses intrinsic neural plexuses that allow a
significant degree of autonomy over GI functions, the central nervous system (CNS) provides …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) integrates numerous sensory signals in order to control
and maintain normal gut functions. Nutrients are one of the prominent factors which …

The possible mechanisms that may be involved in nutrient detection in the wall of the
gastrointestinal tract are reviewed. There is strong functional and electrophysiological …

The regulation of energy balance requires the complex integration of homeostatic and
hedonic pathways, but sensory inputs from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are increasingly …

During a meal, multiple gastrointestinal sites are stimulated by ingested nutrients and their
digestion products, initiating local gastrointestinal actions and producing a variety of …

The gastrointestinal tract is a long, muscular tube responsible for the digestion of food,
assimilation of nutrients and elimination of waste. This is achieved by secretion of digestive …

The gut-brain axis is a coordinated communication system that not only maintains
homeostasis, but significantly influences higher cognitive functions and emotions, as well as …
