Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary arginine supplementation alleviates intestinal mucosal disruption induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in weaned pigs.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Arg supplementation has beneficial effects in alleviating gut mucosal injury induced by LPS challenge and it is possible that the protective effects of Arg on the intestine are associated with decreasing the expression of intestinal pro-inflammatory cytokines through activating PPARγ expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fish Oil Enhances Intestinal Integrity and Inhibits TLR4 and NOD2 Signaling Pathways in Weaned Pigs after LPS Challenge

TL;DR: Results indicate that fish oil supplementation is associated with inhibition of TLR4 and NOD2 signaling pathways and concomitant improvement of intestinal integrity under an inflammatory condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein hydrolysates in animal nutrition: Industrial production, bioactive peptides, and functional significance.

TL;DR: Protein hydrolysates hold promise in optimizing the nutrition of domestic and companion animals, as well as their health (particularly gut health) and well-being.
Journal ArticleDOI

L-Cysteine metabolism and its nutritional implications.

TL;DR: The main objective of this review is to highlight the metabolic pathways of L-cysteine catabolism to GSH, H(2)S, and taurine, with special emphasis on therapeutic and nutritional use of L to improve the health and well-being of animals and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of leucine and its metabolites in protein and energy metabolism

TL;DR: Both α-KIC and HMB have recently received considerable attention as nutritional supplements used to increase protein synthesis, inhibit protein degradation, and regulate energy homeostasis in a variety of in vitro and in vivo models.
