The study presents the data on the level of expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in piglets with gas-trointestinal diseases of bacterial etiology. The analysis of gene expression showed that the expression levels of IL-1α and IL-10 were significantly increased in sick piglets, while IL-1β lost its activity. During the histological examination, there were no differences between the structure of the intestines of sick and healthy piglets. However, cytological examination: of the samples obtained from sick piglets demonstrated alteration and a decrease in the adhesive barrier in the epithelium of intestinal villi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
