Exercise and vascular function: how much is too much?

abstract：:Luminal nutrition is important for the maintenance of small intestinal structure and function. The equilibrium between crypt cell production and villous cell loss in the mucosal epithelium of the small intestine is altered under certain conditions such as after a small bowel resection. Immediately after resection, the...
