NOVEL APPROACHES TO TESTING GASTRO INTESTINAL FUNCTION IN VITRO: CONTROLLING SIGNAL ACQUISITION, TISSUE COMPOSITION, OR THE PLATFORM
… disorders, and their significant effects on function are uncertain. In this thesis, several different approaches are studied to understand the relationship of each key gastrointestinal cell to tissue function. Here, the focus is on the specific contribution of each cell population to tissue …

Lactoferrin in neonatal development: effects on intestinal structure and intestinal function and immune response in a piglet model of systemic Staphylococcus aureus infection
… human milk also impacts the development of the intestinal microbiota in infants, which has implications for immunological programming (Kainonen et al 2013; Jacobi and Odle, 2012). Lactoferrin (Lf), a bioactive protein found in high concentrations in human milk, when fed orally, has …

Oral Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I and Development of the Small Intestine in the Neonatal Piglet
Given that IGF-I modulation of intestinal development did not lead to an increase in overall piglet growth, we conclude that the effects of IGF-I in the normal, healthy neonate are modest. However, since IGF-I stimulates intestinal growth and development without undesirable systemic effects, it may …

Effect of yacon flour (Smallanthus sonchifolius) consumption on body weight, body composition, intestinal permeability and metabolic changes in excess body weight adults
… diet on body composition, food intake, intestinal function, biochemical variables concentration, intestinal permeability, fecal short chain fatty acids, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers concentrations in adults with excess body weight. A randomized, parallel arm study involving …

Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Glucagon -Like Peptide-2 Enhance Intestinal Development and Adaptation
… weight. These infants have a higher risk for intestinal dysfunctions indicating the use of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to meet their nutritional needs. Despite its benefits, TPN is associated with many complications; hence, treatments aimed at minimizing the need for TPN are necessary. …

Detection of apoptotic cells in horses with and without gastrointestinal disease
… the occurrence of apoptosis is affected by gastrointestinal disease and tissue layer of intestine. Samples of intestine were collected from 38 horses that underwent surgery or were humanely destroyed for small or large bowel obstruction, strangulation or distension. Samples were also taken from 9 …

Intestinal physiology in atlantic salmonpreparatory changes during smolting and after seawater entry
The intestinal physiology of teleost fishes is complex, and multiple factors contribute to an optimal osmoregulatory function. This complexity is particularly pronounced in migratory species that experience variations in environmental salinity. Consequently, this thesis employed a multifactorial …

Thyroid hormone activation by intestinal tissue of high and low weight-selected chickens
… in the intestine of chickens during perinatal intestinal maturation in two lines of chickens selected for high (HW) or low (LW) body weight at eight weeks of age. Valid assay conditions (proportionality of enzyme activity with enzyme concentration and assay time) were established and the …

The Physiological Function of Endothelin-2 in Mice
In order to directly explore the physiological function of ET-2, we generated constitutive, tissue-specific and systemically inducible knockout mice. Global ET-2 deficient mice exhibited severe growth retardation and juvenile lethality. Despite normal milk intake, they suffered from an apparent …

Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Functional Adaptations in the Neonatal Intestine
Intestinal adaptation following massive loss of absorptive surface area is an important process that results in enhanced intestinal function to compensate for reduced absorptive capacity. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are known to enhance this adaptive process in adult animal models, and data from …

Local effects of Linoorbitides and enterolactone On intestinal epithelial functions
… of LOBs and lignans at the level of the intestinal epithelium due to the potential lack of permeation of LOBs, and susceptibility of lignans to enterohepatic circulation. Our aim in this work is to evaluate the effects of the lignan enterolactone (ENL) and LOBs on intestinal epithelium …

Evaluating the efficacy of brewers’ yeast-derived functional feed additives in mitigating soybean meal-induced enteritis in Atlantic salmon
… plant-based ingredients without compromising intestinal health. In Atlantic salmon aquaculture, one of the main constraints to plant protein inclusion is soybean meal-induced enteritis (SBMIE), a diet-related inflammatory condition that impairs mucosal function. Meanwhile, the use of …

Evaluation of spray-dried plasma in milk replacers fed at a high plane of nutrition on performance, intestinal permeability, and morbidity
… (PP) has been shown to improve growth and intestinal function in young calves when included in milk replacers (MR) fed at conventional rates. The use of a PP and wheat blend to replace a portion of whey protein has been shown to perform similarly to an all whey protein control MR. However, …

Human intestinal cells across space and time
Cells of the human intestinal tract undergo dynamic changes from development to adulthood and in response to environmental stimuli. Recent advances in high-throughput profiling of cells using transcriptomic approaches have vastly expanded the catalogue of cells that are found across the human body. …

DIETARY BIOACTIVES IN THE MODULATION OF METABOLIC, FUNCTIONAL AND AGING BIOMARKERS

Reducing crude protein levels in diets fed to young pigs to optimize growth performance and intestinal health

Impact of virginiamycin on the development of intestinal structure and functional capacity in growing pigs
… that diets with virginiamycin would increase intestinal surface area and nutrient processing capacity compared with diets without virginiamycin. Littermate barrows with similar body weight (n=72; 23.0±1.3 kg; 9 weeks of age) were randomized to pens and pens were randomized to one of three …

Identificazione del pattern di espressione dei microRNA nei pazienti con cancro del colon-retto e sua modulazione favorevole dopo l'arricchimento del microbiota intestinale con i probiotici
… le modificazioni epigenetiche e il microbiota intestinale sembrano svolgere un ruolo fondamentale nella patogenesi del CRC, tuttavia, i meccanismi alla base dell’interazione tra i fattori epigenetici, come i microRNA (miRNA) e il microbiota intestinale nei confronti del CRC non sono stati …
