Thymol improves barrier function and attenuates inflammatory responses in porcine intestinal epithelial cells during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation
(2018-12-19)
It is well known that essential oil thymol exhibits anti-bacterial activity. The protective effects of thymol on pig intestine during inflammation is yet to be investigated. In this study, an in vitro (LPS)-induced ...
Development of novel microparticles for effective delivery of thymol and lauric acid to pig intestinal tract
(2018-08-24)
Antibiotics have been widely supplemented in feeds at sub-therapeutic concentrations to prevent post-weaning diarrhea and increase the overall productivity of pigs. However, the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria ...
Effects of a microencapsulated formula of organic acids and essential oils on nutrient absorption, immunity, gut barrier function, and abundance of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F4 (ETEC F4) in weaned piglets challenged with ETEC F4
(2020-08)
Abstract: The objective was to study the effects of microencapsulated organic acids (OA) and essential oils (EO) on growth performance, immune system, gut barrier function, nutrient digestion and absorption, and abundance ...
Distribution and localization of porcine calcium sensing receptor (pCaSR) in different tissues of weaned piglets
(2019-03-19)
Taste receptors including calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) are expressed in various animal tissues, and CaSR plays important roles in nutrient sensing and the physiology, growth and development of animals. However, molecular ...
Dietary supplementation of red-osier dogwood polyphenol extract changes the ileal microbiota structure and increases Lactobacillus in a pig model
(2021-10-29)
Abstract
Red-osier dogwood (ROD) extract contains a lot of polyphenols that have the potential for modulation of gut microbiota. However, little information is available about its prebiotic properties. This ...
Calcium-sensing Receptor is not Expressed in the Absorptive Enterocytes of Weaned Piglets
(2022-03-16)
The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a kokumi receptor that plays an essential role in nutrient sensing and animal physiology, growth, and development. Pig CaSR (pCaSR) was identified and characterized in the intestine. ...
