Associated with weaning are marked changes to the histology and biochemistry of the small intestine, such as villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia, which cause decreased digestive and absorptive capacity and contribute to post-weaning diarrhoea. In this review we have outlined the major factors ...
Alternatively, the recovery in urine of orally administered lactulose can be used to assess intestinal permeability in living animals. This experiment was designed to study the barrier function of the small intestine of pigs over time after weaning. The aim was to relate paracellular barrier function...
1. 1. In the newborn pig it appears that only prenatally produced enterocytes are capable of absorbing large amounts of protein. 2. 2. The ability of the small intestine to transport sodium, lysine, lysine containing dipeptides and glucose declines markedly during the first week of post natal...
Sheep coccidiosis is an infectious parasitic disease that primarily causes diarrhea and growth retardation in young animals, significantly hindering the development of the sheep breeding industry. Cereal grains and animal feeds are frequently contaminate
However, as large-bowel changes may be the result of reactions taking place farther upstream, there is an increasing interest in the effects of diet on the internal milieu of the small intestine.DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4615-9176-4_4 被引量: 12 ...
performance and the function of the small intestine in broilers subjected to heat stress were detected in order to lay a foundation for the research and application of the anti-heat stress activity of AMP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparation of SGAMP The swine gut antimicrobial peptides were isolate...
This chapter describes the maturation of intestinal function in some farm animals around the time of birth. In mammalian species, the structural and functional characteristics of the small intestine change dramatically around the periods of birth and weaning. Such changes are mediated by the dietary ...
An illustration of the mechanisms through which pEVs influence various intestinal barriers. A A general overview of the effects of pEVs on the intestinal barrier. B Regulation of the biological barrier of the intestine by pEVs. C Effects of pEVs on the chemical barriers. D Modulation of the...
Collections of lymphoid tissue that are located in the mucosa of the small intestine, and have an outer epithelial-cell layer consisting of specialized epithelial cells called M cells. Cross-present The ability of certain antigen-presenting cells to load peptides that are derived from exogenous anti...
Small Intestine Epithelial Barrier Function Is Compromised in Pigs with Low Feed Intake at Weaning1,2 Compromising alterations in gastrointestinal architecture are common during the weaning transition of pigs. The relation between villous atrophy and epithe... M.,A.,M.,... - 《Journal of Nutritio...
