Intestinal bacteria affect the transport of food in the gut

Food in the small intestine

process will affect the body's absorption of nutrients,
affect our health.
A new study recently found that food in the small intestinetransportationtime is regulated by hormones, suggesting that new ways can be found in the future to improve the absorption of nutrients in the intestines, thereby treating potential malnutrition.task of the intestinal bacteria is to break down the essential nutrients in our diet to provide the gut with an available source of energy.now, researchers at the
Sahlgrenska
Institute at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden have shown that a lack of energy in the gut leads to increased releases of the hormone
GLP-1
associated with appetite control and insulin secretion.important, they also showed that the release of
GLP-1
regulate the speed at which food passes through the small intestine. These findings may open up new possibilities for the treatment of malnutrition and malnutrition-related diseases.Food

Transportthrough the small intestine is a complex balancing process in which the inner walls of the intestine must be given enough time to absorb nutrients without giving the pathogenic bacteria enough time to plant in the small intestine.

"We have found that food passing through the small intestine is regulated by a specific hormone
GLP-1
, and
GLP-1
is a hormone associated with our sugar metabolism and appetite," said

intestinal bacteria and the body's metabolic regulation.said:

we continue to find new functions regulated by the gut bacteria,
thus highlighting its important role in the regulation of health and disease development.
