متن کاملAntibiotics in Animal Feeds: Are There Viable Alternatives?
The proglucagon (PG) gene is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and brain in several animal species. The PG gene is differentially translated in the GI tract by specific endocrine cells to produce glucagon in the pancreas and glucagon-like peptides 1 and 2 (GLP-1/GLP-2), glicentin, and oxyntomodulin in the intestine. These PG-derived peptides have diverse functions involving insulin s...
متن کاملAlternatives to Antibiotics in Animal Agriculture: An Ecoimmunological View
Ecological immunology (or ecoimmunology) is a new discipline in animal health and immunology that extends immunologists' views into a natural context where animals and humans have co-evolved. Antibiotic resistance and tolerance (ART) in bacteria are manifested in antibiosis-surviving subsets of resisters and persisters. ART has emerged though natural evolutionary consequences enriched by human ...
