Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yongqing Du"
- Yongqing Du's recent research focuses on gut health, specifically the role of various dietary components and gut microbiota in mitigating intestinal damage and diseases in both livestock and mammals.
- One of Du's studies demonstrates that the branched short-chain fatty acid isobutyrate can improve intestinal health in weaned piglets by remodeling the intestinal microbiota, addressing critical challenges in the livestock industry.
- Another study investigates the unique resistance of Min pigs to ulcerative colitis and highlights the potential of leveraging their gut microbiota to alleviate similar conditions in mice, providing insights into microbiota's role in inflammation-related disorders.
