A compatibility study of common additives in protein hydrolysate-dextrose solutions for parenteral hyperalimentation
… requires an intact and functioning gastrointestinal tract which may be found in certain chronic intestinal diseases, malignant tumors, and cases of gastrointestinal obstruction. In there and certain other clinical situations, parenteral feeding is necessary to provide essential nutrients …

Butyrate-induced upregulation of intestinal glucose transport and signaling pathways represent a possible nutrient therapy for individuals with malabsorptive disorders
Individuals with significant intestinal malabsorption face challenges digesting and absorbing sufficient nutrients. A number of intestinal diseases, including celiac disease, short bowel syndrome (SBS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and the inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s disease and …

Characterization of VIBRIO Parahaemolyticus-Induced Intestinal Inflammation in the Mouse
… wild type strain of V. parahaemolyticus exhibit intestinal inflammation characterized by epithelial damage, submucosal edema, crypt abscess and hyperplasia, and infiltration of the lamina propria by neutrophils. Using mutant strains of V. parahaemolyticus, we have determined that thermostable …

Epithelial Cell Autophagy in Antibacterial Defense of the Small Intestine
… resident bacteria opportunistically invade the intestinal barrier, leading to pathologies such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and bacteremia. As a result, epithelial cell innate immune responses play an essential role in preventing bacterial invasion of host tissues and maintaining a …

Renin-angiotensin system in intestinal inflammation : experimental studies with therapeutic interventions
… signals can lead to difficult and chronic diseases, like inflammatory bowel diseases, manifesting in uncontrolled inflammation in intestine. Local intestinal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and glucocorticoid synthesis are recently uncovered complex mechanisms participating in the …

Comparative imaging of surgical small intestinal disease in dogs: evaluation of pre-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, intra-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography
Surgical small intestinal diseases occur commonly in canine patients seen in veterinary practices. Failure to identify ischemic tissue intra-operatively can result in surgical dehiscence, require surgical revision, and lead to sepsis or death. Currently contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is …

The Influence of Necrotic Enteritis, Environmental Factors, and Genetics on Intestinal Development Pathways and Disease Occurrence in Broiler Chickens
… in feed has allowed for reemergence of intestinal diseases that diminish animal welfare and producer economics. Alternative mechanisms to preventing disease are therefore required. The objective of this dissertation was to examine factors that contribute to chicken development and health …

Harmful effect of oxysterols in the gut and at systemic level: modulatory activity of olive oil phenolics
… is essential to prevent the onset of various diseases, as with the diet we can also introduce harmful substances. Among others, the oxysterols are particularly relevant; they can be absorbed from the diet and are the oxidized products of cholesterol present in cholesterol-containing foodstuffs …

Effects of yeast products on immune response and intestinal health of dogs and mice
… diets by enhancing immune response and promoting intestinal health. The first aim was to evaluate the effects of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP) on apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), fecal characteristics, fecal fermentative end-products, fecal microbiota, immune …
