Relationship of feeding practices, anthropometric status and gut function in infants in Dzimauli Community in South Africa
… twice weekly using the 24 hour recall methods. Lactulose: mannitol data was obtained at 3, 6 and 9 months intervals. Bivariate analysis was used to correlate the relationships. Result: Although almost all infants (92.5%) 123/133 were breastfed, none were breastfed exclusively for six months. On …

Development of in vitro infant intestinal models to assess responses to infant formulae
… with 0.8 mM GDC decreased TEER and increased lactulose permeability 1.6-fold without inducing cytotoxicity or inflammation. GDC also reduced occludin (OCLN) localization at tight junctions, increased acidic mucins, and elevated extracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, consistent with …

Copper from copper hydroxychloride in diets for growing pigs increases feed efficiency, improves energy utilization and changes intestinal microbial activity
… dietary Cu concentrations did not affect the lactulose:mannitol ratio in urine from pigs fed experimental diets. Supplementation of Cu hydroxychloride to diets also positively influenced (P < 0.05) BUN, albumin, and cytokine concentrations of nursery pigs indicating that Cu from Cu …

Feeding peroxidized soybean oil to finishing pigs: Effects on performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics, and the shelf-life of loin chops and commercially manufactured bacon
… when pigs were in the metabolism crates, lactulose and mannitol were fed and subsequently measured in the urine to evaluate gut permeability, while markers of oxidative stress were evaluated in plasma, urine, and liver. At 82 d pigs were slaughtered and hot carcass weight (HCW) and liver …
