Somatic and gastro‐intestinal in vivo biotransformation rates of hydrophobic chemicals in fish
To improve current bioaccumulation assessment methods, a methodology is developed, applied and investigated for measuring in vivo biotransformation rates of hydrophobic organic substances in the body (soma) and gastro‐intestinal tract of the fish. The method resembles the bioaccumulation OECD 305 dietary test but includes reference chemicals to determine both somatic and gastro‐intestinal ...

Leachability of Protein and Metals Incorporated into Aquatic Invertebrates: Are Species and Metals-Exposure History Important?
Abstract To partially simulate conditions in fish intestinal tracts, we leached six groups of metals-contaminated invertebrates at pH 2 and pH 7, and analyzed the concentrations of four metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) and total protein in the leachates. Four of the groups of invertebrates were benthic macroinvertebrates collected from metals-contaminated rivers (the Clark Fork River in Montana and ...

Classification and Function of Lactic Acid Probiotics
Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria in the gut, and are now mostly used for gut conditioning and health care. However, people now know less about probiotics, and it is difficult for many people to distinguish whether probiotics are good or bad, and they do not know anything about probiotics. However, there are more than 400 types of probiotics in the human body, and the types of ...

What Are the Health Benefits of Probiotics?
Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria that exist in the human gut itself. There are more than 100 trillion bacteria in the human gut, which are roughly divided into beneficial bacteria, intermediate bacteria and harmful bacteria. When the human body is healthy, the intestinal flora is in a balanced state, but when you have symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, it means that the number of ...

Compound Active Probiotics Are Widely Used in the Field of Health
Probiotics are a class of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host. They are the general term for active beneficial microorganisms that colonize the human intestine and reproductive system and can produce definite health effects to improve the host's micro-ecological balance and play a beneficial role. The beneficial bacteria or fungi in humans and animals mainly include: Clostridium ...

Learn the Properties and Applications of Chymotrypsin
Chymotrypsin is a typical serine protease. As an endopeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein peptide bonds, its realization form is mainly for the cleavage of the peptide bond formed by the carboxyl end of the aromatic amino acid-tryptophan, phenylalanine or tyrosine. Chymotrypsin is a typical serine protease and is currently one of the digestive enzymes of most vertebral animals. ...

Probiotics Have Many Benefits for the Human Body
Probiotics are active microorganisms that are beneficial to the human body. They promote nutrient absorption and maintain the health of the intestinal tract by regulating the balance of the intestinal flora. The human intestinal flora contains a large number of microorganisms, as many as hundreds of species. In addition to probiotics, there are other microorganisms, such as viruses, fungi, ...

A Novel, High-Throughput Platform to Characterize Novel IBD Therapeutics
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-a) is a potent cytokine that is over-expressed by cells during chronic intestinal inflammation. Furthermore, TNF-a represents the most validated clinical target for ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with multiple emerging neutralizing/inflammation-reducing therapeutics targeting this cytokine for inactivation. TNF-a activation of ...

The Effect of Probiotics for the Gut Health
There are trillions of microbes inhabiting the human intestine. These microbes gradually reach a balance of types and numbers during the process of reproduction, and this balance is closely related to the body's normal metabolism. Once the structure of the intestinal flora becomes imbalanced, various metabolic diseases will follow. The probiotics multiply in large quantities in the intestine, ...

The Importance of Moderate Supplementation of Intestinal Lactase
Lactase is a disaccharidase present on the surface of mammalian small intestinal mucosal microvilli, and many beneficial intestinal bacteria have the ability to produce lactase. Lactase deficiency is present in most of the world's population, affecting nearly 2/3 of the world's population. Polylactose is composed of glucose and galactose, these two monosaccharides are easily absorbed by the ...

Human Microbiome Research Promotes Progress of Precision Medicine
A large part of bacterial, archaeal, viral, and fungal microbial taxa consists of the human microbiome. While many of these microorganisms are commensal, some are harmful to humans and many are symbiotic. Our livelihoods are strongly intertwined with the microbes we allocate our bodies with, regardless of whether their appearance is advantageous, insignificant, or harmful. Over the past few ...

8 Health Benefits of Taking Probiotics
Probiotics refer to a certain number of live microorganisms that can have a beneficial effect on the health of the host. At present, there are more than 20 kinds of probiotics used in China, mainly including Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium butyricum, Saccharomyces boulardii, Enterococcus, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus cereus. Probiotics have eight major functions. 1. Maintain ...

Detailed Introduction to the Four Effects of Probiotics
Probiotics, in simple terms, are a group of microorganisms that can effectively promote human health. They can resist gastric acid and bile acid, and can attach and colonize in the intestinal tract. According to statistics, the human gastrointestinal tract contains a rich and diverse microbial community, gathering more than 100 trillion microorganisms. These microbiomes encode more than 3 million ...

Anti Helicobacter Pylori Formula Shows Initial Results
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is closely related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, peptic ulcer, Hp-related dyspepsia and other diseases. Studies have found that Hp can cause gastric microbial disorders, change the microbial diversity and community structure in the stomach, and cause precancerous lesions. The public health community has made great efforts to eradicate Hp for a long ...

Increasing the Efficiency of Drug Development with Preclinical Testing Using Human Intestinal Stem Cells
Due to a lack of robust in vivo gut models, animal studies are generally required to evaluate gut toxicity. However, these studies can be lengthy and expensive and may not accurately recapitulate the behavior of the human gastrointestinal tract. Drugs are thus often developed with undesired gut side effects that are not apparent until clinical trials. Organ-on-a-chip models are the closest ...

Amplicon Sequencing Technology Unveils the Enigmas of Microbial Populations
Amplicon sequencing is a cutting-edge technique that involves sequencing PCR products or captured fragments of specific lengths, enabling the analysis of sequence variations. Among the diverse applications of this technology, the 16S rRNA gene has emerged as a fundamental tool for sequence-based bacterial analysis, boasting decades of significance. The process of 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing ...
