Type 2 Diabetes: the glucose regulation

Type 2 Diabetes: the glucose regulation

In the intestine, gut distension and nutrients are detected by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors, respectively. The activation of these receptors sends an afferent nervous message to the hypothalamus in the brain. In turn, the hypothalamus controls the glucose entry in tissues, and thus glycemia.

Gut microbiota: a key player in gut-brain communication

Gut microbiota: a key player in gut-brain communication

Currently, the gut is considered a primary site for the development of pathologies that modify brain functions such as neurodegenerative (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc.) and metabolic (type 2 diabetes, obesity, etc.) disorders. Deciphering the mode of interaction between microbiota and the brain is a real original option to prevent (and maybe treat in the future) the establishment of gut-brain disfunctions and associated pathologies.

Camu Camu extract: health benefits against metabolic disorders

Camu Camu extract: health benefits against metabolic disorders

The Amazonian forests are home to a shrub, the camu-camu, whose fruit could be of great help in the fight against obesity and metabolic diseases. This is described in our latest study published with the A-Mansia R&D team in the journal Metabolites.

Enteric nervous system : Galanin’s role in gut-brain axis

Enteric nervous system : Galanin’s role in gut-brain axis

The enteric nervous system (ENS) plays a key role in controlling the gut-brain axis under normal and pathological conditions, such as type 2 diabetes. The discovery of intestinal actors, such as enterosynes, able to modulate the ENS-induced duodenal contraction is considered a pioneering approach.

Enteric nervous system: the key to understanding gut-brain health

Did you know that the enteric nervous system, often referred to as our “second brain,” is composed of over 200 million neurons lining the digestive tract? It plays a critical role in maintaining digestive health and mediating the connection between the gut and the...

Gut microbiota: the key to understanding health and disease

Did you know that trillions of microorganisms are working behind the scenes in your body to keep you healthy? Often called our “hidden organ,” the gut microbiota is an extraordinary ecosystem that influences much more than just digestion.  How does this invisible...

Intestinal barrier : key to digestion and nutrient absorption 

Unlock the mystery of your digestive system!  In this edition, we explore the vital roles of digestion and nutrient absorption, essential for maintaining health. Digestion is the process by which foods are broken down into smaller molecules, or nutrients, making them...

gut-health : the key to general health

Have you ever wondered how your body turns the food you eat into the energy you need? The secret lies within the fascinating world of gut physiology. Your digestive tract is not just a simple tube for digestion—it’s a complex system designed to absorb essential...
