Lysozyme was isolated from the small intestine of mice by combined ion-exchange and molecular sieve chromatography. This lysozyme differs from that isolated from the urine of mice with monocytoma in amino acid composition, and migration rate in cellulose acetate electrophoresis. As intestinal lysozyme originates at least in part from the Paneth cell, our results point towards the existence of isozymes of lysozymes in mice.

Background: Intestinal transplantation (ITx) represents the only curative option for patients with irreversible intestinal failure. Nevertheless, its rejection rate surpasses that of other solid organ transplants due to the heightened immunological load of the gut. Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) are key players in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance, suggesting their potential involvement in modulating host vs.

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of death worldwide. We have shown that pressure overload (PO)-induced inflammatory cell recruitment leads to heart failure in IL-10 knockout (KO) mice. However, it's unclear if PO-induced inflammatory cells also target the gut mucosa, causing gut dysbiosis and leakage.

Introduction: The performance of a high quality esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is dependent on the mucosal cleanliness. Recently, the Polprep: Effective Assessment of Cleanliness in EGD (PEACE) scale was created to assess the degree of mucosal cleanliness during EGD. The aim of this study was to validate this scoring system in a cohort of international endoscopists.

Investigation of Betaine and Vaccine Efficacy for Coccidiosis Prevention in Broilers.

Acta Parasitol

January 2025

Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aydin Adnan Menderes University, Aydin, Turkey.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the anticoccidial effects of betaine and a vaccine compared to monensin sodium in experimentally induced coccidiosis in broiler chickens.

Methods: 600 day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to five groups, each with four replicates of 30 birds. While the control group received a basal diet, two experimental groups received basal diet supplemented with either 100 mg/kg monensin sodium or 2.
