(or Kakadu plum), a native Australian fruit with potential health benefits, contains bioactive compounds such as ellagic acid (EA), ascorbic acid (AA) and calcium, and antinutrients such as oxalic acid (OA). However, few is known about the biological fate of these compounds following ingestion; therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate bioaccessibility and intestinal absorption of compounds using the INFOGEST static digestion model and Caco-2-HT29-MTX-E12 intestinal absorption model. No significant changes ( > 0.05) were observed in total AA content throughout digestion, whereas bioaccessibility of EA, OA, and calcium increased significantly from 33, 72, and 67% in the gastric phase to 48, 98, and 90% in the intestinal phase, respectively. The intestinal absorption study revealed variable rates of movement across the cell barrier. Findings reveal novel and important insights for the prediction of bioavailability of selected compounds.

Objectives: The absorption of conventional cholecalciferol may be impaired in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The bioavailability and optimal dosing of buccally absorbable nanoemulsion vitamin D in this population remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects of buccal nanoemulsion and conventional oral vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in patients with IBD.

Gastrointestinal eubiosis is essential for maintaining overall host wellbeing. Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a common issue in pig development, arising from weaning stress, which disrupts the gut microbiota balance and increases susceptibility to infections. The primary bacterial pathogen linked to PWD is enterotoxigenic (ETEC).

Background And Aim: The global demand for sustainable animal protein sources has led to the exploration of insects as alternative feed ingredients. Among these, black soldier fly (BSF) larvae () have demonstrated significant nutritional and functional potential. This study investigated the effects of microwave-dried BSF larvae meal (MDBSFM) on growth performance, intestinal morphology, humoral immune response, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in broiler chickens.

Indole-3-carboxaldehyde (I3A), a microbial tryptophan metabolite, exhibits significant immunomodulatory activity at the host-microbial interface. However, its rapid transformation into metabolites like indole-3-carboxylic acid (I3CA) raises questions about their therapeutic potential. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacological contributions of I3CA through the development of a proper delivery strategy.

Prodrugs with enzymatic activation requirements, such as the weakly basic biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) class IV compound abiraterone acetate (ABA), face considerable bioequivalence (BE) risks owing to their pH-dependent solubility, food effects, and variable intestinal hydrolysis. This study established clinically relevant dissolution specifications for ABA using biorelevant dissolution and physiologically based biopharmaceutics modelling (PBBM). Two dissolution methods, two-stage (gastrointestinal transfer simulation) and single-phase (biorelevant media), were evaluated under fasted and fed conditions.
