Article Synopsis
- * Supplementing pigs' diets with fermented S. latissima improved gut microbiota diversity and altered immune gene expression in response to infections, particularly in different sections of the gut.
- * While the seaweed did not significantly reduce parasite levels or egg excretion, it may create a healthier gut environment during parasite infections, suggesting further research into seaweeds for gut health improvement is warranted.
Article Synopsis
- Consumption of fermentable dietary fibers like inulin and infection with helminth products (e.g., Trichuris suis ova) can reduce inflammation, with inulin and T. suis showing cooperative effects in pigs.
- Research explored how T. suis antigens and inulin work together to suppress inflammation in immune cells, finding that T. suis soluble products effectively inhibit inflammatory markers, while inulin showed minimal direct effects.
- The study concluded that T. suis has a strong suppressive role in inflammation, while inulin's effects depend on gut microbiota's production of metabolites, indicating different mechanisms of action for each.
