Digestive physiology involves the breakdown of food into simple nutrients for absorption by the body. It includes mechanical and chemical means of food degradation using enzymes from salivary, gastric, pancreatic, and colonic bacteria. The digestive system comprises the mouth, esophagus, stomach, li

Pancreas is a vital organ in the abdomen with dual exocrine and endocrine functions. As an exocrine organ, it secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonates into the duodenum for food breakdown. In its endocrine role, the pancreas regulates blood sugar levels by secreting insulin, glucagon, somatostati

The process begins with chewing skittles in the mouth, where salivary amylase breaks down sugar. The bolus then travels down the esophagus via peristalsis into the stomach, further broken down by gastric juice. The pancreas releases enzymes like amylase and lipase to digest sugars and fats. Bile pro

Amylase is an essential enzyme found in saliva, pancreatic juice, and plants that aids in the breakdown of starch into sugars. This article explores the sources, physiological actions, and diagnostic uses of amylase in clinical practice, focusing on conditions such as acute pancreatitis. It also del

This study at IHPBA 2018 evaluated the psychometric performance of the Pancreatic Cancer Disease Impact (PACADI) score in patients with suspected pancreatic cancer. The research included 363 patients and assessed various aspects such as discriminative validity, test-retest reliability, and predictiv

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by absolute insulin deficiency, resulting from pancreatic beta cell destruction. It is prone to ketosis with a total deficit of circulating insulin, often due to autoimmune factors. The pathophysiology involves inflammation, immune-mediated cell destruction, and a ch

Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with the release of salivary amylase, continues in the stomach where chyme is formed, and is completed in the small intestine with the help of pancreatic enzymes. Absorption of the broken-down sugars occurs in the small intestine, while undigested carbohydr

This article highlights the digestion and metabolism of fat in both ruminant and non-ruminant species. It explains the differences in lipid digestion in the stomach and small intestine of animals, focusing on the role of lipase, bile, and colipase in the breakdown of triglycerides. The process of mi

Research presented at the ENETS 2020 virtual meeting discussed the generation of organoids from lung, intestinal, and pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) to study normal neuroendocrine cells and their transformation to NENs. The success rate in generating organoids was higher for lung NENs co

Glycaemic Index (GI) measures how carbohydrate-containing foods affect blood glucose levels. High GI foods raise blood glucose rapidly, while low GI foods release glucose gradually. Studies track impacts on blood glucose levels, insulin secretion, fat storage, and pancreatic function. High GI foods

Hepatobiliary and pancreatic disorders can lead to conditions like jaundice, caused by an accumulation of bilirubin. Jaundice can be classified as prehepatic, intrahepatic, or posthepatic depending on the underlying causes such as liver damage, hepatitis, cirrhosis, or bile duct obstructions. Liver

The experiment focuses on studying the enzymatic digestion of fat by pancreatic lipase. It covers the structure of triglycerides, the role of lipase enzyme in hydrolyzing triglycerides to release fatty acids, and the general hydrolysis process. The aim is to investigate the effects of lipase enzyme
