Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PepT1 transports dietary and bacterial peptides in the gut. We hypothesized that cysteinyl-glycine would ameliorate the inflammatory effect of a bacterial peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), in both sow-fed and parenterally-fed piglets. METHODS: An intestinal perfusion experiment was performed in piglets (N = 12) that were sow-reared or provided with parenteral nutrition (PN) for 4...
