Abstract Forty Holstein bull calves were fed 1 of 3 starch-based milk replacers for either 10 or 35 days to determine responses in organ mass and small intestinal length. Calves (87.2 ± 7.7 kg) bottle-fed a cornstarch-based replacer (727 g cornstarch daily) alone, with added casein (154.7 g/d) glutamate (45.5 d. Prior receiving treatments commercial 12 15 weeks so that measures length collected...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS There is increasing evidence implicating intestinal immune responses to dietary proteins in the pathogenesis of type 1 autoimmune diabetes (T1D). Here we investigated the association between intestinal pathology and dietary factors in T1D by examining the mucosal architecture in the BB rat model. METHODS BB control (BBc) and diabetes prone (BBdp) rats were fed either a dia...

This research was conducted with aim knowing effect adding ration at different levels on internal organ profile broiler chickens. method used this study a completely randomized design factorial pattern 3 treatments (factor A) 4 B) using 2 replications for each replication or experimental unit containi...

OBJECTIVE The present study has been undertaken with the main objective of evaluating the aqueous extract of flowers of Muntingia calabura for antispasmodic activity on isolated rabbit's jejunum. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was carried out on isolated rabbit's jejunum preparations. The aqueous extract of flowers of M. calabura was applied in different doses by cumulative manner without wa...

OBJECTIVE To determine alterations in quantities and distributions of natural antimicrobials following ischemia-reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that these compounds would be upregulated in areas of small intestine where changes in permeability and cellular disruption were likely and where protective mechanisms would be initiated. METHODS Rats with ischemia-reperfusion underwent superior m...

The aim of this study was to investigate histology characteristics in the small intestine of Santa Ines lambs fed bovine or ovine colostrum. At 0 and 6 h of life, 12 newborn lambs received 250 ml of first milking bovine colostrum (BC) and another 12 animals received 250 ml of first milking ovine colostrum (OC). Samples of duodenum, jejunum and ileum were collected at 24 and 72 h of life. Six an...

During intestinal absorption, dietary polyglutamyl folates are hydrolyzed to monoglutamyl folates by pteroylpolyglutamate hydrolase (folate conjugase). This enzyme is present in the brush border and intracellular fractions of human jejunal mucosa. We compared the activities of brush border and intracellular folate conjugase (BBFC and ICFC), and other mucosal enzymes in the jejunum in continuity...

Somatostatin [somatotropin release-inhibitory factor (SRIF)] has widespread actions throughout the gastrointestinal tract, but the receptor mechanisms involved are not fully characterized. We have examined the effect of selective SRIF-receptor ligands on intestinal peristalsis by studying migrating motor complexes (MMCs) in isolated segments of jejunum from rats, mice, and sst(2)-receptor knock...
