Article Abstract
Recently it has been postulated that flavonoid glucosides may be absorbed by the small intestine via the SGLT-1. Therefore, we applied an in vitro mucosal uptake method to investigate mucosal uptake of the non-metabolisable glucose analogue methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (MDG) as influenced by quercetin-3-glucoside (isoquercitrin) and quercetin-4'-glucoside (spiraeosid). We found that both glucosides significantly inhibited SGLT-1-mediated MDG uptake whereas the aglycon quercetin or the quercetin-3-rhamnoglucoside (rutin) were ineffective. Calculated apparent kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) of initial Na+-dependent MDG uptake by the jejunal mucosa indicate a competitive type of inhibition.

Elasmobranchs are commonly carnivores and are important in energy transfer across marine ecosystems. Despite this, relatively few studies have examined the physiological underpinnings of nutrient acquisition in these animals. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of uptake at the spiral valve intestine for two representative amino acids (-alanine, -leucine) and one representative fatty acid (oleic acid), each common to the diet of a carnivore, the Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi).

An increase in plastic waste and its release into the environment has led to health concerns over microplastics (MPs) in the environment. The intestinal mucosal layer is a key defense mechanism against ingested MPs, preventing the migration of particles to other parts of the body. MP migration through intestinal mucus is challenging to study due to difficulties in obtaining intact mucus layers for testing and numerous formulations, shapes, and sizes of microplastics.

Purpose: Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), the first-line oral therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, is rapidly metabolized into monomethyl fumarate. The DMF oral administration provokes gastrointestinal discomfort causing treatment withdrawal. The present study aimed to develop an innovative formulation for DMF nasal administration.

Microplastics (MPs) in fish can cross the intestinal barrier and are often bioaccumulated in several tissues, causing adverse effects. While the impacts of MPs on fish are well documented, the mechanisms of their cellular internalization remain unclear. A rainbow-trout () intestinal platform, comprising proximal and distal intestinal epithelial cells cultured on an Alvetex scaffold, was exposed to 50 mg/L of MPs (size 1-5 µm) for 2, 4, and 6 h.

The intracellular delivery of peptides and proteins is crucial for various biomedical applications. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a promising strategy for delivering peptides to phagocytic cells. However, the diverse physicochemical properties of peptides necessitate tailored formulations.
