This study assessed the effect of autochthonous probiotic RM119 on gut health, growth, and nutrient utilization in calves. Twelve buffalo calves (<15 d) were divided into two groups, control without probiotics, and probiotic group with RM119 @ 10 CFU/calf/d. The probiotic group showed a reduction ( 0.05) in fecal score, diarrhea episodes and duration of diarrhea. The fecal pH, fecal ammonia was lower, whereas lactate was higher in probiotic group than control. There was a significant increase ( 0.01) in the concentration of fecal acetate, propionate and butyrate levels in the probiotic supplemented group. The fecal lactobacilli and bifidobacterium were higher ( 0.01), whereas, fecal coliform and clostridial count were lower ( 0.01) in RM119 supplemented group. There was an improvement in reduced glutathione anti oxidant. Overall, buffalo-gut origin RM119 reduced the frequency and severity of diarrhea in neonatal buffalo calves and improved the gut health.

There are limited studies on the improvement of leaky gut with minor inflammation associated with various diseases. To explore the therapeutic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3, a member of the Lactobacillus species, in addressing a leaky gut. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 22 A-3 was administered to a leaky gut mice model with low dextran sulfate sodium concentrations.

Background: Low-dose amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA), was superior to placebo for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the AmitripTyline at Low-dose ANd Titrated for Irritable bowel syndrome as Second-line treatment (ATLANTIS) trial.
Objective: To perform post hoc analyses of ATLANTIS for predictors of response to, and tolerability of, a TCA.
Design: ATLANTIS randomised 463 adults with IBS to amitriptyline (232) or placebo (231).

Chinese yam polysaccharide (CYP) is an effective immunostimulant, however, its efficacy in grass carp, an important commercial fish species in Asia, remains untested. Here, our study evaluated the immunostimulatory effects of CYP on IgM B cells in vitro and on humoral immunity and immune defense against Aeromonas hydrophila infection in vivo. In vitro stimulation experiments showed that CYP could induce the secretion of IgM antibodies, because it could stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of head kidney IgM B cells.

The limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability of curcumin restrict its application. In this study, we synthesized chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates to prepare an emulsion delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. The CPI-CP emulsion achieved a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 86.
