Intestine Health and Barrier Function in Fattening Rabbits Fed Bovine Colostrum
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 The permeability of the immature intestine is higher in newborns than in adults; a damaged gut barrier in young animals increases the susceptibility to digestive and infectious diseases later in life.

Effects of pre-slaughter fasting on broiler welfare, meat quality, and intestinal integrity
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2013 The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) regulations establish 12 hours as the maximum pre-slaughter fasting period for broilers; however, many processing plants have considered this time is not sufficient, and consequently return the birds to the ...

The morphological changes of intestinal mucosa in growing rabbits [PDF]
Laboratory Animals, 1997 The study aimed to increase understanding of digestive function from the development of the digestive tract from suckling to maturity in rabbits. The relative weights of the digestive tract (in relation to body weight) in different segments increase linearly during the rapid growth period between 2 and 8 weeks of age; thereafter intestinal weight gain

Developmental changes of TGF-β1 and Smads signaling pathway in intestinal adaption of weaned pigs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Weaning stress caused marked changes in intestinal structure and function. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and canonical Smads signaling pathway are suspected to play an important regulatory role in post-weaning adaptation of the small intestine ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2018 Background Stress causes inflammation that impairs intestinal barrier function. Dietary spray-dried plasma (SDP) has recognized anti-inflammatory effects and improvement of gut barrier function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
