BACKGROUND Mucins play an important protective role in the colonic mucosa. Luminal
factors modulating colonic mucus release have been not fully identified. AIM To determine …

A growing number of patients with end-stage lung disease have benefited from lung
transplantation (LT). Improvements in organ procurement, surgical techniques and intensive …

We have recently shown that β-casomorphin-7, a milk opioid peptide, strongly stimulates
mucin secretion in the rat jejunum through a nervous pathway and opioid receptor …

The hypothesis that dietary proteins or their hydrolysates may regulate intestinal mucin
discharge was investigated in the isolated vascularly perfused rat jejunum using an enzyme …

Intestinal mucus is critically involved in the protection of the mucosa. An enzymatic casein
hydrolysate and β-casomorphin-7, a μ-opioid peptide generated in the intestine during …

Several studies demonstrated that fermented milks may provide a large number of bioactive
peptides into the gastrointestinal tract. We previously showed that beta-casomorphin-7, an …

The effect of potential mediators of mucus secretion was investigated in the isolated
vascularly perfused rat colon by using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for …

Mucins play an essential role in the protection and repair of gastrointestinal mucosa. We
recently showed that luminal leptin strongly stimulated mucin secretion in vivo in rat colon. In …

Background Due to its multisystemic nature, scleroderma is considered a relative
contraindication to lung transplantation at many centers. However, recent studies suggest …

The physics of a magnetic filter under conditions similar to those of the negative ion source
for the ITER neutral beam injector is analyzed with the help of a two-dimensional particle-in …
