Abstract

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is critical for nutrient absorption and is an important barrier against harmful pathogens and antigens. Difructose anhydrides (DFA)-IVs are nondigestible disaccharides that enhance calcium and iron absorption by affecting the intestinal epithelial tissue. However, their effects on intestinal functions are not fully understood. In this study, we performed a feeding trial and found that dietary DFA-IVs improved growth performance, relative breast muscle and liver weight, and digestibility and blood calcium and iron concentrations in broilers. Additionally, dietary DFA-IVs increased expression of genes related to growth in the liver, muscle development, and absorption of calcium and iron in the intestine. In vitro experiments revealed that DFA-IV treatment improved intestinal wound-healing (migration, proliferation, and differentiation) after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge in small intestinal epithelial cells. Furthermore, DFA-IV treatment enhanced the intestinal barrier function, which increased the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and decreased the permeability of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD-4) after LPS challenge in small intestinal epithelial cells. Collectively, thes...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
