Abstract
Dietary protein is a vital nutrient for humans and animals, which is primarily digested into peptides and free amino acids (FAAs) in the upper gastrointestine with the help of proteases. The products are absorbed by the enterocytes and are metabolized in different organs of body. Dietary protein, peptides and FAAs that escape digestion and absorption of the small intestine will enter the large intestine for further fermentation by the vast gut microbiota. Particularly, amino acid (AAs) metabolism by bacteria occurs via either deamination or decarboxylation reactions and generates short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) or amines, respectively. These metabolites elicit a wide range of biological functions via different receptors and mechanisms. This review discusses the interaction between protein metabolites and gastrointestine, illustrates regulation of intestinal motility and immune response by SCFAs and their receptors, and focuses on modulation of intestinal inflammation and signal transduction by biogenic amines (BAs) involving polyamines and monoamine neurotransmitters.
Keywords: Biogenic amines (BAs), gastrointestine, immunity, microbial metabolites, neurotransmitters, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
