Ginger is one of the most commonly used fresh herbs and spices. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT)-induced diarrhea is the leading cause of infant death in developing countries. In this study, we demonstrated that ginger significantly blocked the binding of LT to
This research evaluated a feed additive (benzoic acid, eugenol, thymol and piperine), associated or not with colistin, in weaned piglets feeding. The parameters evaluated were growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, diarrhea incidence, intestinal morphology,
Mitigation of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) was assessed using two feed additives (0.5% inclusion of a benzoic acid [BA] product and 0.02% inclusion of an essential oil [EO] product; DSM Nutritional Products Inc., Parsippany, NJ), and combination of both products (0.5%
Salmonella dublin strain SL5631, which is auxotrophic for p-amino-benzoic acid and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate because of a deleted aroA gene, was given orally in a dose of 10(10) live bacteria to 6 calves 5-7 weeks old. The calves tolerated the strain well, had a transient mucoid diarrhea and sacrificed
Neutrophils have been implicated as major contributors to tissue injury in inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, we have assessed the effects of an inhibitor of neutrophil activation and adherence, NPC-18915 (4-¿2-[2-(2-benzofuranyl)phenyl]-(E)-ethenyl¿benzoic acid sodium salt), in models of
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that Helicobacter pylori may be associated with diarrhea through its vacuolating toxin (VacA). To establish whether VacA induces intestinal secretion, epithelial damage, or both, purified pH-activated VacA was added to Caco-2 cell monolayers mounted in Ussing
The growth factor-like lipid mediator, lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), is a potent signaling molecule that influences numerous physiologic and pathologic processes. Manipulation of LPA signaling is of growing pharmacotherapeutic interest, especially because LPA resembles compounds with drug-like
Thirty-one Holstein bull calves were purchased at birth from 3 dairy farms in Eastern Ontario. Each calf was assigned at random to oral treatment with either 5 mg of halofuginone lactate in 10.0 mL of aqueous carrier solution (Halocur, base comprised 10 mg of benzoic acid, 100 mg of lactic acid, and
LGD1069 [Targretin; 4-[1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-2-naphtalenyl) propenyl] benzoic acid] is a novel synthetic retinoid X receptor-selective retinoid that has been recently identified. The goals of this study were to determine the safety, toxicity, pharmacokinetics (PKs), and
The diarrhea associated with malabsorption of bile salts such as the secondary hydrophobic taurodeoxycholate (TDC) may be partly explained by the TDC-induced increase in colon Cl(-) secretion. We, therefore, investigated the effects of TDC (0.5-8 mM) on electrical parameters and electrolyte
The vaccine strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG may lead to disseminated infection in patients with immune deficiency. In this report a patient who developed fatal disseminated tuberculosis caused by M. bovis BCG strain was presented. One year old male patient with the previous history of recurrent lower
Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent Cl- secretion provides the ionic basis for secretory diarrhea. We quantified the spatial distribution of this process by measuring local ion conductance in crypts and surface epithelium or villi of rat late distal colon and ileum. By use of an
Chloride channels at the apical membrane of intestinal epithelial cells are involved in the excessive fluid secretion in diarrhea and diminished secretion in cystic fibrosis (CF). Diarrhea induced by heat-stable toxin from Escherichia coli is associated with elevated guanosine 3',5'-cyclic
Edema factor (EF) toxin of Bacillus anthracis (NIAID category A), and several other toxins from NIAID category B Biodefense target bacteria are adenylyl cyclases or adenylyl cyclase agonists that catalyze the conversion of ATP to 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). We previously identified
Ficus hispida L.f. (Moraceae) has long been used as a traditional medicine in India, China, Sri Lanka, Australia, and Myanmar in the treatment of diarrhea, ulcer, anemia, diabetes, inflammation, and cancer.This review provides a systematic comment on the
