Quick recap : what we covered last time In my first newsletter we introduced the gut–skin axis: a two-way biochemical hotline in which intestinal dysbiosis, “leaky-gut” endotoxins and microbially produced metabolites ignite cytokine storms that thin the epidermal...
In recent years, dermatological research has increasingly turned inward, toward the gut! The concept of the gut–skin axis has gained considerable traction, supported by robust data linking intestinal health and microbial balance to the onset and progression of...
TAKE HOME MESSAGES : The ENS orchestrates gut motility through a complex balance of neural circuits and neurotransmitters. Disruptions in gut motility can trigger systemic metabolic imbalances, contributing to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. ENS dysfunction is...
Did you know that the enteric nervous system, often referred to as our “second brain,” is composed of over 200 million neurons lining the digestive tract? It plays a critical role in maintaining digestive health and mediating the connection between the gut and the...
Did you know that trillions of microorganisms are working behind the scenes in your body to keep you healthy? Often called our “hidden organ,” the gut microbiota is an extraordinary ecosystem that influences much more than just digestion. How does this invisible...
Unlock the mystery of your digestive system! In this edition, we explore the vital roles of digestion and nutrient absorption, essential for maintaining health. Digestion is the process by which foods are broken down into smaller molecules, or nutrients, making them...
Have you ever wondered how your body turns the food you eat into the energy you need? The secret lies within the fascinating world of gut physiology. Your digestive tract is not just a simple tube for digestion—it’s a complex system designed to absorb essential...
The team event on January 11th and 12th, 2024, aimed to strengthen bonds, celebrate successes, and plan for the future. Highlights included reflecting on the previous year, presenting the 2023 report, and collectively implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach. The team discussed and devised concrete initiatives to integrate sustainable practices, demonstrating their shared commitment to positive contributions to society and the environment.
In the intestine, gut distension and nutrients are detected by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors, respectively. The activation of these receptors sends an afferent nervous message to the hypothalamus in the brain. In turn, the hypothalamus controls the glucose entry in tissues, and thus glycemia.
