Costa, P. N.; Soares, A. M.; Q. Filho, J.; S. Junior, F.; Ambikapathi, R.; McQuade, E. T. Rogawski; Guerrant, R. L.; Caulfield, L. E.; Lima, A. A. M.A child’s diet contains nutrients and other substances that influence intestinal health. The present study aimed to evaluate the relations between complementary feeding, intestinal barrier function and environmental enteropathy (EE) in infants. Data from 233 children were obtained from the Brazilian site of the Etiology, Risk Factors, and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences ...
Comparisons between myeloperoxidase, lactoferrin, calprotectin and lipocalin-2,...
Prata, Mara de Moura Gondim; Havt, Alexandre; Bolick, D. T.; Pinkerton, R.; Lima, A. A. M.; Guerrant, R. L.Fecal biomarkers have emerged as important tools to assess intestinal inflammation and enteropathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations between the fecal markers, myeloperoxidase (MPO), lactoferrin (FL), calprotectin (FC) and lipocalin-2 (Lcn-2), and to compare differences by breastfeeding status as well as normalization by fecal protein or by fecal weight. Simultaneous, quantitative MPO, ...
Alanyl-glutamine attenuates 5-fluorouracil-induced intestinal mucositis in apol...
Araújo, C.V.; Lazzarotto, Cícera Regina; Aquino, Cristhyane Costa de; Figueiredo, Italo L.; Costa, Tiê Bezerra; Alves, L. A. de OliveiraApolipoprotein E (APOE=gene, apoE=protein) is a known factor regulating the inflammatory response that may have regenerative effects during tissue recovery from injury. We investigated whether apoE deficiency reduces the healing effect of alanyl-glutamine (Ala-Gln) treatment, a recognized gut-trophic nutrient, during tissue recovery after 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis. APOE-knockout (APOE-/-) and wild-type ...
