The digestive tract of the pig has five main parts: the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. The oesophagus is a tube that carries the food from the mouth to the stomach. It forms one morphological unit, which is compartmentalised for its different functions by ...
It has been found that the state of protective functions of the digestive tract change during postnatal period. The biosynthesis and secretion of glycoproteins of mucus layer which is the main protective structure of digestive tract depend on the hormonal background and the nutrition conditions. The...
Weaning is believed to be one of the important phases of piglet life cycle which influences the type and functions of microbes as well as microbial metabolites within the gut (Li, Guo et al., 2018). In this stress period, effective alterations in the gastrointestinal microflora is seen while...
As expected, non-linear circRNAs were more abundant in brain tissues (23.27% and 11.67% were transcribed in the cerebellum and cerebrum, respectively, vs. 7.97% in each of the other tissues) (Fig.1b). This finding was consistent with the notion that circRNAs are more likely to be derived ...
These preliminary data suggest new, extra-digestive, actions of enteral pancreatic enzymes – probably amylase or its peptides – on glucose homeostasis, with an reduction in net glucose absorption into the blood and in insulin response. This ability of digestive enzymes (amylase) to reduce post-...
Describe the basic anatomy and function of the lungs. What are the functions of adipose tissue? What is the main function of the heart? Explain in detail. Why do some animals have a gall bladder while others do not? The digestive glands in clayfish are analogous to which organs in pigs?
We next sought to dissect the potential mechanisms of the mucus secretory defects and aberrant mucinO-glycans as related to diarrhea. The inflammasome is a multi-protein complex that is expressed in various cell lineages and orchestrates diverse functions in homeostasis and in response to inflammation...
Three experiments were conducted to compare the digestible (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in fermented corn germ meal (FCGM) and soybean meal (SBM), and evaluate the effects of FCGM replacing SBM in growing pig diets. In Exp...

Besides impairment of liver function, ePHx causes damage of the kidneys22, suggesting surgery-induced multi-organ dysfunction. As both liver and kidney functions were improved by systemic treatment with pBM-MSC, cells may act on different organs via common mechanisms. Therefore, we analyzed global ...
