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.

Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER): a functional parameter to monitor the quality of oviduct epithelial cells cultured on filter supports [PDF]
, 2015 Cultivation of oviduct epithelial cells on porous filters fosters in vivo-like morphology and functionality. However, due to the optical properties of the filter materials and the cells’ columnar shape, cell quality is hard to assess via light microscopy.

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 ...

Removal of luminal content protects the small intestine during hemorrhagic shock but is not sufficient to prevent lung injury. [PDF]
, 2013 The small intestine plays a key role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure following circulatory shock. Current results show that reduced perfusion of the small intestine compromises the mucosal epithelial barrier, and the intestinal contents ...

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 ...
