Publisher Summary This chapter reviews selectively and in detail the extensive literature on
the connections between the polyamines and cancer in mammals and judges whether these …

This report is an attempt to quantitate the observable topographical characteristics of small
and large intestine after a specific dietary regimen under well-defined states of lipid …

Background: Intestinal adaptation is a complex physiological process that is not completely
understood. Systemic administration of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) has been shown to …

Studies were performed on the distribution and properties of intestinal diamine oxidase
(DAO) previously called histaminase. DAO activity is high in the gastrointestinal tract of all …

Background: In mice, immunological adaptation of the gut to microbial and nutritional
antigens occurs at weaning in parallel with biochemical and morphological maturation …

The purpose of this study was to examine whether luminal polyamines administered
exogenously accelerate the repair of stress-induced intestinal mucosal damage in rats. Rats …

Diamine oxidase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of short chain aliphatic diamines, like
putrescine, and histamine. The enzyme is rate-limiting in the terminal catabolism of …

To define the role of glicentin the active site of enteroglucagon, we evaluated the trophic
effects of recombinant rat glicentin on rat small intestine and IEC-6 cells. In vivo, a significant …

We have examined whether dietary polyamines influence the formation and initial growth of
azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in rat colon. Effects of a combination …
