## Abstract ## Background Angiotensin II (AII) effects on intestinal Na^+^ transport may be multifactorial. To determine if AII might have a direct effect on intestinal epithelial Na^+^ transport, we investigated its actions on Na^+^ transport in human intestinal epithelial Caco2BBE cells. ## Res

## Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are linked to an increased risk of developing colon cancer, by inflammatory mediators and alterations to the extracellular matrix (ECM). The events induced by inflammatory mediators lead to dysregulated activation and induction of inflammatory genes suc
## Abstract Cyclooxygenase (COX)‐2 derived prostaglandins (PGs) play a major role in intestinal inflammation and colorectal carcinogenesis. Because COX‐2 is the rate‐limiting step in the production of PGs, mechanisms that regulate COX‐2 expression control PG production in the cell. Using the non‐tu
## Abstract Ghrelin, a newly identified gastric peptide, is known for its potent activity in growth hormone release and appetite. Our recent study showed that ghrelin could stimulate protein kinase C‐mediated activation of nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) and interleukin‐8 secretion in human colonic epith
