Static Mechanical Characteristics of the Small Collecting Vein and the First-Order Venule in the Denervated Small Intestines of the Wistar, Wistar-Kyoto, and Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats
This study was centered around two basic themes. The first related to the mechanics of the venous system, the second to venous function in hypertension. Since the venous system holds a large fraction of the total peripheral blood volume (and much of this possibly located in the venous …

Binding mechanism of K88ab pili produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
… pili by brush border membrane and mucus from pig small intestine was characterized by inhibition assay and Western blot. In Western blot, K88ab pili were bound by two major brush border membrane polypeptides with molecular weight of 61,500 and 57,000 in addition to numerous minor polypeptides and …

The Devil's in the Diversity: Divergent Parasite Faunas and their Impacts on Body Condition in Two Greenland Caribou Populations
… fecal flotations and examinations of abomasa and small intestines. Anoplocephalidae, Nematodirinae and “Strongyle”-type eggs and Eimeria oocysts were found in fecal samples from both populations, but Marshallagia spp. eggs were only found in those from Kangerlussuaq-Sisimiut. Adult nematodes were …

Adding Upstream Sequence and a Downstream Reporter to the Bile Acid Inducible Promoter of <I>CLOSTRIDIUM scindens</I> VPI 12708
Bile acids in the small intestines of animals serve to breakdown fats and fatsoluble vitamins. Most of the bile acids are reabsorbed into the enterohepatic circulation, but approximately five percent of these bile acids pass into the large intestine. These bile acids are swiftly deconjugated by the …

Common Pool Goods and New Technology Adoption: How Canada Can Implement New Vaccinology Strategies Related to Johne’s Disease
… often fatal infection that primarily affects the small intestines of ruminants. Disease management currently includes solutions such as cull-and-kill, best-management practices, vaccinations, and disease testing kits. Current vaccines and tests for JD result in false positive results for …

Do Probiotics Protect Against the Deleterious Effects of a High-Fat Diet?
… mice at the time of euthanization. The large and small intestines were collected and mRNA levels of tight-junction proteins and markers of nutrient sensing were measured. To determine a possible protective effect against endogenous LPS, a second cohort of mice were given an intraperitoneal …

Experimental trichinosis in Octodon degus (Rodentia)
… Adult T. spiralis worms were recovered from the small intestines of the degus from day 9 through day 36 post-infection. The newborn larvae were first observed in the skeletal muscles on the 18th day of post-infection. The fecundity of the female worms ranged from 1 to 160 muscle larvae per …

Insights Into the Development of Gastrointestinal Brunner's Glands: Critical Stem Cells and Differentiation Factors
… pylorus of the stomach and the duodenum of the small intestine. Brunner's Glands function by secreting a mucous-rich substance containing sodium bicarbonate and other important proteins in order to neutralize stomach acid and prevent damage to the intestinal epithelium. Prior research has shown …

Morphometric characterization of individual sympathetic postganglionic axons innervating the muscle layers of the gastrointestinal tract of the rat: A complex effector model
… animals were euthanized and their stomachs and small intestines were processed to visualize the postganglionic axons. Myenteric neurons were counterstained with Cuprolinic Blue. Individual sympathetic arbors (n = 154) in the gut wall were inventoried, digitized and analyzed morphometrically. …

Molecular Considerations In The Design Of Novel Alpha/Beta Hydrolase Inhibitors
… in the liver) and CES2 (localized in the small intestines). CES2's ability to activate irinotecan at a faster rate than CES1 creates a localization of activated SN-38 in the gut epithelium, resulting in the dose limiting side effect of delayed diarrhea. Development of inhibitors for the CE …

Baylisascaris procyonis Prevalence and Impact in Raccoon (Procyon lotor) Populations
… is a nematode parasite that infects the small intestines of raccoons (Procyon lotor). Raccoons are the definitive host for this parasite, which can have both an indirect and direct life cycle. In intermediate hosts, the parasite causes serious pathology resulting from larvae migrating …

Role of the Gut Microbiome in Cancer Immunotherapy Efficacy and Side Effects
… (Treg)/CD8+ T effector cell (Teff) ratios in the small intestines and elevated thymus-derived Treg (tTreg)/peripherally induced Treg (pTreg) ratios in the large intestine after anti-CTLA-4 therapy. In dysbiotic mice without tumours, the same therapy decreased mesenteric Treg populations and …

Estimation of Predator Densities in Western South Dakota
… condition was evaluated. In addition, small intestines were removed and parasite loads were determined. Spearman rank correlations were conducted to determine which techniques possessed similar trends in indices. Road-kill surveys were eliminated from consideration as a relative density …

Outlining a balance-point model of homeostasis in the small intestine of broiler chickens
… is especially sensitive to the health of the small intestine. Healthy small intestines balance nutrient absorption and defensive barrier functions to ensure the chicken is able to meet the whole-body nutritional needs and is able to help prevent internalization of pathogens or potentially …

Host-Microbiota Interactions
… found that the interaction network in the large intestines is sparse compared to the network in the small intestines. We postulate that the sparse interaction is due to a specialized role of microbiota in the large intestines and may explain the associations between altered microbiota and CRC. We …

Vesicular Stomatitis Virus as a Vector to Deliver Virus-Like Particles of Human Norovirus: A New Live Vectored Vaccine for Human Norovirus
… loss and villous atrophy, and mild edema in the small intestines. Immunofluorescent assay showed that a large amount of human NoV antigens were detected in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of the challenge control group but not vaccinated group. These results demonstrate that the rVSV-based human NoV …
