Peripheral Contributions to Visceral Hyperalgesia by GF Gebhart

“…Key questions associated with understanding visceral hyperalgesia relate to whether the viscera are innervated by nociceptors (ie, sensory receptors that respond selectively to noxious intensities of stimulation), whether visceral receptors and/or afferent fibres sensitize after tissue injury and whether silent nociceptors exist in the viscera. Studies in nonhuman animals have revealed that hollow organs such as the esophagus, gall bladder, stomach, urinary bladder, colon and uterus are innervated by mechanically sensitive receptors with low or high thresholds for response. …”

In vitro characterization of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria from wild and domestic pigs: probiotic potential for post-weaning piglets by Katerina Kavanova, Iveta Kostovova, Monika Moravkova, Tereza Kubasova, Magdalena Crhanova

“…The use of antibiotics is problematic due to increasing antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations, for which reason the use of suitable probiotics is highly recommended to maintain animal health and welfare. Results In this study, 57 strains of biologically safe lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and bifidobacteria originating from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of pigs were identified and characterized in terms of their probiotic properties for potential use in weaned piglets. …”

(-)-Fenchone Ameliorates TNBS-Induced Colitis in Rats via Antioxidant, Immunomodulatory, and Cytoprotective Mechanisms by Maria Elaine Cristina Araruna, Edvaldo Balbino Alves Júnior, Catarina Alves de Lima Serafim, Matheus Marley Bezerra Pessoa, Michelle Liz de Souza Pessôa, Vitória Pereira Alves, Marianna Vieira Sobral, Marcelo Sobral da Silva, Adriano Francisco Alves, Maria Carolina de Paiva Sousa, Aurigena Antunes Araújo, Leônia Maria Batista

“…Results: Oral administration of the (-)-fenchone (37.5–300 mg/kg) acute phase or (150 mg/kg) (<i>p</i> < 0.001) chronic phase reduced the macroscopic lesion score, ulcerative area, intestinal weight/length ratio, and diarrheal index in TNBS-treated animals. At a dose of 150 mg/kg, the acute and chronic phase decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), restored glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD) (<i>p</i> < 0.001), decreased immunomarking for factor nuclear kappa B (NF-κB) and levels of interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and maintained IL-10 and TGF-β basal levels. …”

Basis for the Age-related Decline in Intestinal Mucosal Immunity by Douglas L. Schmucker, Robert L. Owen, Robert Outenreath, Karine Thoreux

“…Quantitative immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated a 2-fold increase in the number of IgA+ cells in the PPs, coupled with significant declines in the numbers of IgA+ and antibody-positive cells in the intestinal LP of senescent rats compared to young adult animals. These data suggest that aging diminishes the emigration of IgA immunoblasts from these lymphoid aggregates, as well as their migration to the intestinal LP. …”
