Gastroenterology
The chaotic nature of the gastrointestinal system makes it a perfect candidate for Biochemistry Data Mining application. Every proximal or distal system may ultimately produce the same gut symptoms.
Commonly overlooked gut pathology parameters
Neurogastroenterology
The intestinal tube is the largest surface to be controlled by neurons. In fact, vagus nerve, the largest in our body, controls much of the function of the stomach, the small and the large intestine, and is critical in syndromes like IBS
bile biochemistry
Bile is a highly essential substance, needed for the emulsification and absorption of lipids. However, it acts also as a hormone, neurotransmitter and cancer mediator.
postbiotic metabolism
Postbiotics are all the necessary products derived from bacterial or fungal metabolism that humans cannot synthesize. For example, butyrate, which I believe serves superior functions from all the other vitamins, is a product of fiber fermentation
immunogastroenterology
Mucosal immunity is the interface between what happens outside our body and inside it. It is the last frontier and when compromised, our body is subject to every external threat. Secretory immunoglobulin A, bacterial derived defensins, mucins, adhesion proteins and other molecules are implicated in gastrointestinal pathology
hormonal imbalances
Visceral hypersensitivity, estrogen and progesterone control, thyroid regulation and in fact almost all hormones in our body have the potential to alter bowel function leading to symptoms like constipation, residual feeling, urgency etc
microbiome
It is now accepted to be an endocrine organ. It possesses 10 times more genes than we do and depending on the circumstances they became either friends, or foes
