Component
Primary colonic crypt culture
Primary colonic crypt culture. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.
2 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
Where it participates (unsigned role)
The FFAR2 reporter was strongly expressed in a large population of leukocytes in the lamina propria, particularly of the small intestine, but surprisingly only weakly in a subpopulation of enteroendocrine cells; nevertheless synthetic ligands specific for either FFAR3 or FFAR2 each released GLP-1 from colonic crypt cultures.

Complete structured claim and evidencePropionate stimulated secretion of both peptide YY and GLP-1 from wild-type murine colonic crypt cultures and this effect was significantly attenuated in cultures from FFA2 knockout mice, while intra-colonic infusion of propionate elevated both hormones in portal vein plasma in rats and mice but did not significantly stimulate their release in FFA2 knockout mice.
