A study of the seasonal dynamics of copper (Cu) deficiency and its effects on the antioxidant system in Wumeng semi-fine wool sheep in Weining county was conducted. In addition, the concentrations of mineral elements in soil, grass, and blood of affected and healthy Wumeng semi-fine wool sheep were determined, and blood indices were measured. The results showed that Cu contents in soil, grass, and sheep blood from the experimental pasture were significantly lower than those from the control pasture (P < 0.

- * PCV2 infection significantly increases inflammatory cytokines and decreases HDAC (histone deacetylase) levels, which are involved in regulating gene expression for inflammation.
- * PSW treatment reduces the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotes HDAC expression, indicating its potential to modulate the inflammatory response and improve resistance to PCV2 infection.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how Sophora subprosrate polysaccharide can help reduce inflammation caused by a virus called PCV2 in pig cells.
- It found that when the pig cells were treated with this polysaccharide, the levels of certain inflammation-causing substances went down while one helpful substance increased.
- The study suggests that this polysaccharide works by changing how certain proteins (histones) are modified, which helps to calm down the inflammation and stops a part of the immune response from getting too active.
