Effects of a Novel Bovine Lactoferrin-Derived Peptide on the Intestinal Morphology and Intestinal Flora in Rats [PDF]

Microorganisms
Bovine lactoferrin-derived peptide LF-MQL was administered to healthy rats to assess its effects on growth parameters and gut morphology. Faecal samples were analysed by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to investigate the modulatory effects of LF-MQL ...

Phylogeny, body morphology, and trophic level shape intestinal traits in coral reef fishes

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Trait‐based approaches are increasingly used to study species assemblages and understand ecosystem functioning. The strength of these approaches lies in the appropriate choice of functional traits that relate to the functions of interest.

Tannic Acid Induces Intestinal Dysfunction and Intestinal Microbial Dysregulation in Brandt’s Voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Animals, 2023
Brandt’s vole (Lasiopodomys brandtii) is a small herbivorous mammal that feeds on plants rich in secondary metabolites (PSMs), including tannins. However, plant defense mechanisms against herbivory by Brandt’s voles are not clearly established.

Glycine Alleviated Intestinal Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis in Piglets Challenged with Diquat

Animals, 2022
The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of glycine on intestinal injury caused by oxidative stress in piglets. A 2 × 2 factorial experiment with diets (basic diet vs. 1% glycine diet) and oxidative stress (saline vs.

The low intestinal and hepatic toxicity of hydrolyzed fumonisin B1 correlates with its inability to alter the metabolism of sphingolipids [PDF]

, 2012
Fumonisins are mycotoxins frequently found as natural contaminants in maize, where they are produced by the plant pathogen Fusarium verticillioides. They are toxic to animals and exert their effects through mechanisms involving disruption of sphingolipid

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality [PDF]

, 2010
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.
