Abstract:Glutamine (Gln) is a critical nutrient required by neonatal mammals for intestinal growth, especially for newborn piglets. However, the mechanisms underlying the role of Gln in porcine intestinal epithelium development are not fully understood. The objective of the current study was to explore the possible signaling pathway involved in the promotion of porcine intestinal epithelial cell (IPEC-J2) proliferation by Gln. The results showed that 1 mM Gln promoted IPEC-J2 cell proliferation, and tandem mass tag pro… Show more
