Aim: Connective tissue changes due to ageing or diseases leading to changes in the colonic wall is one theory for development of diverticula. Alpha-1 antitrypsin(A1AT), a protease inhibitor that protects connective tissue, possibly plays
The underling pathophysiological mechanisms that cause the formation of colonic diverticula (diverticulosis) remain unclear. Connective tissue changes due to ageing that cause changes in collagen structure of the colonic wall is one theory. Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is a protease Ultrastructure and histochemical distribution of enzymes were examined in the midgut of larval and postlarval stages of Penaeus setiferus. Acid phosphatase and esterase activities were present in all gut tissues at all stages. Protease activity was present in the anterior and lateral midgut caeca,
In this review of the scientific literature on the relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption and risk of cancer, results from 206 human epidemiologic studies and 22 animal studies are summarized. The evidence for a protective effect of greater vegetable and fruit consumption is consistent
