Microbial regulation of host nutrient metabolism and immunity
Microbial regulation of host nutrient metabolism and immunity Digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients are the primary physiologic functions of the intestinal tract. Impairments and augmentations in dietary nutrient harvest contribute respectively to malnutrition and… Microbial regulation of host nutrient metabolism and immunity
Adipose tissues and the pathophysiology of obesity
Adipose tissues and the pathophysiology of obesity Fat stored in white adipose tissues (AT) provides critical energy reserves during periods of undernutrition, and undergoes pathologic expansion and inflammation during obesity. It is known that manipulation… Adipose tissues and the pathophysiology of obesity
