In a recent study published in Nutrients, scientists provide a detailed overview on age-related alterations in lipid metabolism and its association with age-related chronic diseases. Study: The Roles ...

Trillions of microorganisms live in the gastrointestinal tract, far outnumbering the body's own cells. The intestinal flora is involved in many physiological and pathological processes in the host, ...

Although the vast majority of research on the gut microbiome has focused on bacteria in the large intestine, a new study--one of a few to concentrate on microbes in the upper gastrointestinal ...

Encapsulating oils with alginates may slow the digestion of the lipids in the intestines and help formulate foods with controlled fat release and weight management potential, says a new study from ...

Lipid-based formulations offer a means of addressing the physicochemical and biological challenges of poorly soluble APIs. Lipid-based formulations (LBFs) may improve oral bioavailability by ...

In the realm of biological sciences, bile acids stand as pivotal molecules, playing a multifaceted role in various physiological processes within organisms. Bile acids are specialized molecules ...

Highly potent but poorly water-soluble drug (PWSD) candidates are common outcomes of contemporary drug discovery programmes. These lipophilic compounds often exhibit poor systemic exposure following ...

A fecal fat test measures the amount of fat in a person’s stool. The test assesses the digestive function and absorption of fat in the gastrointestinal tract. Several medical conditions cause poor fat ...
