Dietary proteins are mostly absorbed as di- and tripeptides by the intestinal proton-dependent
transporter PepT1. We have examined the effects of leptin on PepT1 function in rat …

In this review, we present the main approaches developed around satellite and airborne
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. The great range of SAR imagery applications is …

Background and aims: Leptin, the product of the ob gene, has been suggested to increase
the risk of colon cancer. However, we have shown that although leptin stimulates epithelial …

Some of the actions of leptin depend on cholecystokinin (CCK). However, it is unknown
whether leptin modulates the release of CCK. Here, we demonstrate in vitro that leptin induces …

Leptin has been suggested to be involved in tissue injury and/or mucosal defence mechanisms.
Here, we studied the effects of leptin on colonic mucus secretion and rat mucin 2 (rMuc2…

Background & Aims : Recent studies suggest that leptin, a hormone involved in food intake
regulation, released into the circulation and gastrointestinal juice, may be a growth factor for …

In the present study, the effect of H + /peptide transporter (PepT1)-mediatedN-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine
(fMLP) transport on inflammation in vivo in the rat small intestine, …

Intestinal absorption of β-lactamine antibiotics (eg, cefixime and cephalexin) has been shown
to proceed through the dipeptide carrier system. In a previous study, nifedipine (NFP), an L-…

A peptide YY (PYY)-preferring receptor [PYY > neuropeptide Y (NPY)] was previously
characterized in rat small intestinal crypt cells, where it mediates inhibition of fluid secretion. Here, …

Souli, A., J. Chariot, T. Voisin, O. Presset, A. Tsocas, A. Balasubramaniam, M. Laburthe and
C. RozÉ. Several receptors mediate the antisecretory effect of peptide YY, neuropeptide Y, …
