The gut microbiome is extremely important for maintaining homeostasis with host intestinal
epithelial, neuronal, and immune cells and this host-microbe interaction is critical during …

Over the last few years, we have seen an increasing interest and demand for pigs in
biomedical research. Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are closely related to humans …

The intestinal epithelial barrier, composed of epithelial cells, tight junction proteins and
intestinal secretions, prevents passage of luminal substances and antigens through the …

Deoxynivalenol (DON) frequently detected in a wide range of foods and feeds, inducing
cytotoxicity to animals and humans. To investigate the underlying mechanism of DON …

Milk-derived exosomes were identified as a novel mechanism of mother-to-child
transmission of regulatory molecules, but their functions in intestinal tissues of neonates are …

Inflammatory response caused by early weaning stress in piglets is associated with various
diseases. The Hippophae rhamnoides polysaccharide (HRP) exhibits anti-inflammatory …

It is well-known that essential oil thymol exhibits antibacterial activity. The protective effects
of thymol on pig intestine during inflammation is yet to be investigated. In this study, an in …

IPEC-J2 cells are porcine intestinal columnar epithelial cells that were isolated from
neonatal piglet mid-jejunum. This cell line forms polarized monolayers with high …

This study aimed to explore the effect of L-arginine on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced
inflammatory response and oxidative stress in IPEC-2 cells. We found that the expression of …

The protective mechanism of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) against lipopolysaccharides
(LPS)-induced inflammatory responses in IPEC-J2 and in mice with DSS dextran sulfate …
