Morrow D, Avissar N, Toia L, Redmond E, Watson T, Jones C, et al.
Surgery
. 2009 Oct;
146(4):714-21.
PMID: 19789031
Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is the predominant risk factor for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma. BE is characterized by intestinal metaplasia with goblet cells. Reflux of bile acids is known...

Avissar N, Toia L, Hu Y, Watson T, Jones C, Raymond D, et al.
J Gastrointest Surg
. 2008 Oct;
13(2):212-22.
PMID: 18854960
Objectives: Bile acids and acid are implicated in the development of Barrett's esophagus. Evidence suggests that Barrett's esophagus intestinal metaplasia may occur via induction of caudal homeobox gene 2 (CDX2)....

Dig Dis Sci
. 2007 Dec;
53(8):2113-25.
PMID: 18157695
Glutamine, a key nutrient for the enterocyte, is transported among other proteins by ASCT2. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) augments intestinal adaptation. We hypothesized that short-term treatment of human enterocytes with...

Avissar N, Toia L, Sax H
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr
. 2005 Aug;
29(5):322-35.
PMID: 16107595
Background: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) plus growth hormone (GH) enhances luminal glutamine transport into rabbit and human intestinal cells. Our objective was to screen for activation status of signal proteins...

Ray E, Avissar N, Salloum R, Sax H
J Nutr
. 2004 Dec;
135(1):14-8.
PMID: 15623826
Glutamine (Gln) is one of the major oxidative fuels of the enterocyte and enters from the lumen via Na(+)-dependent transport mechanisms. When given parenterally, growth hormone (GH) + epidermal growth...

Avissar N, Ziegler T, Toia L, Gu L, Ray E, Berlanga-Acosta J, et al.
J Nutr
. 2004 Aug;
134(9):2173-7.
PMID: 15333700
Two weeks after 70% enterectomy, glutamine (Gln) transport is downregulated in rabbit residual bowel due to a decrease in system B(0) activity. Providing epidermal growth factor (EGF) and growth hormone...

Ray E, Avissar N, Vukcevic D, Toia L, Ryan C, Berlanga-Acosta J, et al.
J Surg Res
. 2003 Oct;
115(1):164-70.
PMID: 14572788
Background: Sodium-dependent brush-border nutrient transport is decreased 2 weeks after massive enterectomy. This down-regulation is ameliorated by a 1-week infusion of parenteral growth hormone (GH) and epidermal growth factor (EGF)...

PMID: 12957138
Background: Sodium-dependent brush border nutrient transport is decreased 2 weeks after massive enterectomy. This downregulation is ameliorated by a 1-week infusion of parenteral growth hormone (GH) and epidermal growth factor...

Jonas C, Gu L, Nkabyo Y, Mannery Y, Avissar N, Sax H, et al.
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol
. 2003 Aug;
285(6):R1421-9.
PMID: 12947032
Glutamine (Gln) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) each stimulate intestinal epithelial cell growth, but regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. We determined whether Gln and KGF alter intra- and extracellular...

J Surg Res
. 2002 Dec;
108(1):180-90.
PMID: 12472108
Background: Vitally important to the future of surgical care is the study of nutrition and nutrient uptake. Advances in this field of research have become increasingly dependent upon the disciplines...
