Amyloid  peptide (A), a proteolytic fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), is a major component of the plaques found in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. These plaques are thought to cause the observed loss of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain of AD patients. In th

Background: Platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent proinflammatory phospholipid mediator, has been implicated in inducing intestinal inflammation in diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). However, its mechanisms of inducing inflammatory responses a
## Abstract Ghrelin, a newly identified gastric peptide, is known for its potent activity in growth hormone (GH) release and appetite. Although ghrelin is involved in several other responses such as stress and intestinal motility, its potential role in intestinal inflammation is not clear. Here, we
## Abstract Butyrate, a short chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by bacterial fermentation of undigested carbohydrates in the colon, constitutes the major fuel for colonocytes. We have earlier shown the role of apically localized monocarboxylate transporter isoform 1 (MCT1) in transport of butyrate i
## Abstract The receptor for advanced‐glycation‐end‐products (RAGE) has been implicated as a pro‐inflammatory factor in chronic inflammatory conditions such as diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of the soluble‐RAGE (sRAGE), the
