Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33-amino-acid proglucagon-derived peptide secreted
from enteroendocrine L cells. GLP-2 circulates at low basal levels in the fasting period, and …

There is increasing interest in nonrodent translational models for the study of human
disease. The pig, in particular, serves as a useful animal model for the study of …

At birth, the newborn mammal undergoes a transition from a sterile uterine environment with
a constant nutrient supply, to a microbe-rich environment with intermittent oral intake of …

Gut peptides exert diverse effects regulating satiety, gastrointestinal motility and acid
secretion, epithelial integrity, and both nutrient absorption and disposal. These actions are …

Peptide hormones are secreted from endocrine cells and neurons and exert their actions
through activation of G protein-coupled receptors to regulate a diverse number of …

The glucagon-like peptides (GLP-1 and GLP-2) are proglucagon-derived peptides
cosecreted from gut endocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GLP-1 acts as an …

Background & Aims: The gut-derived peptide glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) has been
suggested as a potential drug candidate for the treatment of various intestinal diseases …

Background & Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a nutrient-responsive hormone that
exerts diverse actions in the gastrointestinal tract, including enhancing epithelial cell survival …

Preterm birth is associated with immature digestive function that may require the use of total
parenteral nutrition and special oral feeding regimens. Little is known about the responses …

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of fiber source and concentration
