Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Dietary Nucleotides on Immune Mechanisms and Physical State in Children with Chronic Respiratory ProblemsRichter Josef, Svozil Vladimir, Král Vlastimil et al.Heavy industrial pollution and/or passive smoking negatively affect the overall immune health of a population. We used a model of children with chronic respiratory problems and evaluated the effects of short term supplementation of their diet with nucleotides. We measured the level of sIgA, eNO levels and total physical activity. We found positive effects of oral supplementation with commercially available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECTS OF NATURALLY PRODUCED DIETARY FUSARIUM MYCOTOXINS ON WEANING PIGSS. Y. Shin, C. Kong, I. H. Kim, B. G. KimMycotoxins reduce animal productivity and animal health. The influence of Fusarium mycotoxins in corn co-products on pig performance is an important issue in swine feed industry.

In our previous studies, the technology of new feed additives with microelements based on duckweed biomass was elaborated. Here, we report the evaluation of the properties of a new product. The effect of duckweed enriched with microelements on the productivity parameters of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 31 Jan 2013 · 8,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDietary β-glucan Leads to Increased TNF-α Production in the LungRadiah C. Minor, Melody L. Robinson-Wright, Morika Williams, Steven L. HurleyProblem statement: Beta (β)-glucan is notable for its ability to stimulate the immune system and as such β-glucan and products containing β-glucan are used as dietary supplements for livestock and companion animals. β-glucan has been shown to activate macrophages and neutrophils and modulate the production of certain cytokines, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine, Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α). Because TNF-α is … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2012 · 7,510 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Dietary Polydextrose on Feces Consistency and Macronutrient Digestibility in Healthy DogsK. Vasupen, C. Yuangklang, A. C. Beynen, A. W.C. EinerhandProblem statement: There is evidence that the addition of 3% STA-LITE® polydextrose to a dry food reduces clinical signs of osteoarthritis in dogs. For the application of polydextrose as functional ingredient of dog foods, information as to its impact on the acceptance of food, feces consistency, fecal odor and digestibility of macronutrients and minerals is required. Approach: A feeding experiment … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2011 · 8,524 accessesView PDFCite
