Summary: The present research reviews the effects of coffee consumption on different levels of the gastrointestinal tract. It highlights the clear effects of coffee on gastric acid secretion, biliary and pancreatic secretion, gallstone risk reduction, colic motility stimulation, and changes in gut microbiota composition. However, the effects of coffee on gastro-esophageal reflux, peptic ulcers, and intestinal inflammatory diseases are still controversial. The review also emphasizes the lack of association between coffee consumption and cancer of the different digestive organs, while pointing out the powerful protective effect of coffee against hepatocellular carcinoma. The review identifies areas that require further study.

Summary: In 1992, a paper reported the melatonin content of the rat duodenum and pineal gland, and the data has been used to infer that the gut produces more melatonin than the pineal gland. However, this review presents evidence that contradicts these claims, suggesting that pinealectomy eliminates melatonin from the circulation and that the reported levels may be overestimated due to cross reactivity in immunoassays. Recent studies also show that the gut's melatonin content is much lower than originally stated.

Summary: The gut microbiota of horses plays a crucial role in feed utilization and overall health, and is influenced by diet, age, breed, and stress. Perturbations in the microbiota can lead to digestive diseases and systemic disorders.

Summary: Current procedures for obtaining samples from the gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) of marine mammals are limiting the ability to perform other investigations due to specific analysis protocols. A new multi-sieves tool and protocol have been developed to allow proper sample collection for multidisciplinary investigations. This method enables a simultaneous sampling and evaluation of the GIT in marine mammals, reducing the risk of losing important data for understanding their cause of death, biology, ecology, and conservation.

Summary: In this study, a new dagger nematode species Xiphinema hyrcaniense n. sp. was discovered and described in natural grasslands and forests of north and northwest Iran, showing similarities to known species in morphospecies group 5 but with differences in tail shape and morphometric indices. Molecular phylogenetic analyses placed the new species in clades with X. cretense, Xiphinema sp., X. dentatum, and X. paradentatum based on LSU and ITS1 rDNA sequences.

Summary: An in vitro model was developed to screen potential commercial products for DON detoxification, utilizing a simulated pig gastrointestinal tract and Lemna minor L. aquatic plant bioassay. The model showed promising results in reducing DON in feed and assessing detoxification efficacy of compounds, with the potential for application to other mycotoxins.

Summary: The number of available drugs for clinicians, particularly targeted therapies, is continuously increasing. Some drugs are known to cause frequent digestive adverse effects which can affect the gastrointestinal tract in different ways. The diagnosis of iatrogenic gastrointestinal tract injury requires close correlation between anatomic and clinical aspects, and the cessation of the incriminating drug may help establish the iatrogenic origin.

Summary: A study conducted in the Sundarbans of India revealed the presence of fiber-shaped, film, and fragment microplastics in the gastrointestinal tract of estuarine fish. Although there were significant correlations between the length of microplastics and the morphological parameters of the fish, the presence of microplastics did not affect the niche breadth and overlap of the fish.

Summary: This study focuses on the genetic structures of polychaete populations between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, revealing genetic diversities and geographic distribution patterns among different species. The levels of genetic differentiation varied among populations, suggesting diverse demographic histories and evolution processes. Populations of different species in the study exhibited signs of recent demographic expansion, with possible indications of heteroplasmy in one of the species.
