Intestinal Nutrient-Sensing Pathway

Molecular classification
GPCR signaling pathway, Hormone signaling pathway, Neural signaling pathway
01

Overview

The intestinal nutrient-sensing pathway refers to a complex network of molecular, cellular, and neural mechanisms in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract that detect the presence of nutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) in the gut lumen. This sensing triggers hormonal and neural responses that regulate digestion, absorption, appetite, energy homeostasis, glucose metabolism, gut motility, barrier function, and immune responses.

02

Mechanism of action

Modulation of hormone release (e.g., GLP-1) or receptor activity (e.g., GPCRs) to influence appetite, glucose metabolism, and gut function.
