| Course contents : | 1. Models for studying physiology and biochemistry of the digestive system (cell culture, organites, intercellular problem) 2. Molecular mechanism of intracellular transfers and excretion of digestive enzymes and mucus proteins. 3. Molecular mechanisms of ion secretion and absorption by the digestive system (H+, HCO3-, Na+, K+, Cl-,Ca++, aminoacids) 4. Molecular mechanisms of secretion activation of digestive enzymes, of gastro-intestinal hormones and of ion secretion (H+, HCO3-, Na+, K+, Cl-) 5. Receptors related to secretions observed in the digestive tract. 6. Macromolecule transfers across the intestinal mucosa 7. Growth and development of the digestive system 8. Regeneration of the intestinal and gastric mucosa 9. Immune and digestive systems 10. Food intolerance and allergy 11. Pre-probiotics 12. Apoptosis in the digestive system.
