A new study -- one of a few to concentrate on microbes in the upper gastrointestinal tract -- shows how the typical calorie-dense western diet can induce expansion of microbes that promote the ...

Alginate-enriched bread has the potential to inhibit fat digestion and circulatory lipids in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. A study recently revealed at The International Liver ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Medically reviewed by Elizabeth Barnes, RDN Rye bread can be a good source of fiber, which means it may be beneficial for ...

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 ...
