Abstract

Proteins constitute a source of nutrients widely consumed all over the world. Dietary proteins from animal or plant origin have been shown to play a beneficial role in glucose homeostasis by promoting the secretion of appetite regulating gut hormones such as CCK, peptide YY, and GLP-1. The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary proteins could regulate another aspect of intestinal glucose metabolism: the intestinal glucose absorption. To achieve this, the acute effect of different proteins on mRNA expression of transporters involved in the absorption of glucose, namely SGLT1 and GLUT2, was assessed using an in vivo and in vitro method. The inhibition of alpha-glucosidase is another way to control the glucose absorption. Thus, the effect of proteins on alpha-glucosidase activity was also assessed using an acellular model. The results obtained from the in vivo experiment have overall demonstrated a decrease trend of relative mRNA level of GLUT2 and, to a lesser extent, SGLT1 mRNA level expression. Among the proteins tested (fish gelatin, pea proteins, ovalbumin, bovine hemoglobin and casein), the ingestion of ovalbumin by rats have shown a significant decrease of GLUT2 relative mRNA expression level. Concerning the inhibition of alpha-glucosidase activity, it has been shown that some peptides could have a role as stimulator or inhibitor depending on their structure (linear or cyclic). Moreover, the inhibitory effect of hemoglobin could be comparable to acarbose which is used as a drug to treat diabetes. This work opened the field to promising prospects such as the identification of peptides that interact directly or indirectly with transporters as well as the identification of the hemoglobin-derived peptide that interacts with the enzyme.

Abstract

Development of strategies to assist the movement of poorly permeable molecules across biological barriers has long been the goal of drug delivery science. In the last three decades, there has been an exponential increase in advanced drug delivery systems that aim to address this issue. However, most proprietary delivery technologies that have progressed to clinical development are based on permeation enhancers (PEs) that have a history of safe use in man. This Special Issue entitled “Transmucosal Absorption Enhancers in the Drug Delivery Field” aims to present the current state-of-the-art in the application of PEs to improve drug absorption. Emphasis is placed on identification of novel permeation enhancers, mechanisms of barrier alteration, physicochemical properties of PEs that contribute to optimal enhancement action, new delivery models to assess PEs, studies assessing safety of PEs, approaches to assist translation of PEs into effective oral, nasal, ocular and vaginal dosage forms and combining PEs with other delivery strategies.

Abstract

The book comprises the proceedings of the 9th Geoscience Conference for Young Scientists co-organized by the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry and the Institute of Mineralogy (Urals Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences) and Ural Federal University and held in Ekaterinburg, Russia, on February 5-8, 2018. The book is devoted to the relevant issues of crystal chemistry and mineral typomorphism; the structure and physico-chemical and technological properties of minerals; the computational modeling of mineral structure and properties. Much attention is drawn to the latest advances and applications of physical methods of investigation of mineral structure and composition, in particular, X-Ray diffraction, spectroscopic (optical, vibrational, ESR, Moessbauer, etc.) and microscopic (SEM, TEM, AFM, etc.) studies, as well as the methods of chemical and isotopic analysis. This book presents the current research trends of space and planetary mineralogy (meteorites, regolites, tektites). The book is intended explicitly for the specialists in the earth and planetary sciences. .
