Gut microbial anaerobic fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are important substrates for energy metabolism and anabolic processes in mammals. SCFA can regulate the inflammatory response increase intestinal barrier integrity by enhancing tight junction protein (TJp) functions, prevent passage of antigens through paracellular space. The aim this study was to evaluate effect vitro supplementation with (acetate, propionate, butyrate, lactate) at different concentrations...
The effects of dietary nucleotide supplementation from 9 days age until the end post-weaning on piglets hormonal and immune responses growth performance were investigated. During lactation (days to 21) 22 55) 10 [HBI Fomeva11 × (Large White Landrace)] litters (n = 108 piglets) had ad libitum access two standard diets, both supplemented with 0% (T0 group) or 0.1% (T1 yeast extract nucleotides. BW at 21 (P < 0.10), 35 55 0.05) was greater in T1 compared T0. Feed intake not different between...
The aim of this study was to investigate the direct effect leptin on GH gene expression and secretion role nitric oxide as a possible mediator in pig anterior pituitary cells. Pituitary cells from adult sows were treated for 4 or 24 h with rhleptin (from 0.1 nm 1 μm) alone association GHRH (10 nm) hexarelin nm). At end incubation, medium collected determination by ELISA Griess test, respectively. Total RNA cells, measured RT-PCR. Leptin significantly (P < 0.001) stimulated both incubation...
The interest in acetate and propionate as short chain fatty acids (SCFA) derives from research on alternative strategies to the utilization of antibiotics pig farms. SCFA have a protective role intestinal epithelial barrier improve immunity by regulating inflammatory immune response. This regulation is associated with an increase integrity, mediated enhancement tight junction protein (TJp) functions, which prevent passage pathogens through paracellular space. purpose this study was evaluate...
Mastitis is the disease that causes greatest economic losses in dairy farming, significantly im-pairing animal welfare and quality quantity of milk produced. MicroRNAs are increasingly gaining attention, both human veterinary medicine, as biomarkers for various diseases. This study evaluated diagnostic potential four circulating microRNAs (miR-26-5p, miR-142-5p, miR-146a, miR-223-3p) by examining changes their expression samples from cows at different immune cells subpopulations correlated...
Mastitis is the leading cause of economic losses in dairy farming, significantly impairing animal welfare and quality quantity milk production. MicroRNAs are increasingly gaining attention, both human veterinary medicine, as biomarkers for various diseases. This study evaluated diagnostic potential four circulating microRNAs (miR-26-5p, miR-142-5p, miR-146a, miR-223-3p) by examining changes their expression samples from cows at different immune-cell subpopulations correlated to stage...
This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical protection, level of Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viremia and immune response (antibodies IFN-γ secreting cells (SC)) in piglets derived from PCV2 vaccinated sows themselves against different age, namely 4, 6 8 weeks. The cohort has been carried out over three subsequent production cycles (replicates). At start/enrolment, 46 gilts were considered first mating, bled vaccinated. first, second third farrowing, dams re-vaccinated mating after...
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit, and its etiology complex multifactorial. The role diet in pathogenesis still debated. purpose this study was to assess association between MD IGF-1 acne patients and, as secondary objective, systemic treatment on serum levels, accordance with patients' diet. This included 35 aged 14-30 years affected by treated line EDF guidelines. Patients were divided into 2 groups based questionnaire score assessing adherence Mediterranean...
The aim of this study was to examine the effect recombinant human leptin on growth hormone (GH) secretion in perifused anterior pituitary slices from adult pigs. Anterior sows were and treated with (10 n<i>M</i>) GH-releasing (GHRH; 1 n<i>M</i>). In some experiments, coincubated stalk median eminence (SME). a subset coincubation immunoneutralization endogenous GHRH somatostatin (SRIH) release performed antisera SRIH. Leptin increased GH alone (up 100% vs. control at...
Background/objectives: The porcine intestinal epithelium plays a fundamental role as defence interface against pathogens. Its alteration can cause severe inflammatory conditions and diseases. Hyperosmotic stress under physiological upon pathogen challenge malabsorption. Different cell types counteract the osmolarity increase by accumulating organic osmolytes such betaine, taurine, myo-inositol through specific transporters. Betaine is known for protecting cells from hyperosmotic has positive...
The mechanism of action leptin in pregnant breeding sows, which hyperphagia is managed through dietary strategies, yet to be clarified. aim this study was monitor concentrations and their interactions with lactogenic hormones Large White×Landrace multiparous sows (n=15). All showed a normal body condition (mean score: 2.96). Blood samples were collected the day after weaning litters, at insemination, every 15 days up 45 pregnancy 7 from 46 farrowing. At delivery, placenta for analysis...
Galanin is widely distributed in the peripheral and central nervous system has been indicated as a putative hypothalamic-hypophysiotropic hormone. This study was performed to investigate effects of galanin on both growth (GH) luteinizing hormones (LH) from pituitaries young male calves. Pituitary slices (P, 500 microm thickness) were perfused alone or coincubated with median eminence terminals (ME) DMEM-F12 plus BSA 0.1% antibiotics. The perifusion chambers kept equilibrium for 150 min,...
