چکیده

Chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity is a common adverse effect of cancer treatment. We used preweaned piglets as models to test our hypothesis that the immunomodulatory and GI trophic effects of bovine colostrum would reduce the severity of GI complications associated with doxorubicin (DOX) treatment. Five-day-old pigs were administered DOX (1 × 100 mg/m(2)) or an equivalent volume of saline (SAL) and either fed formula (DOX-Form, n = 9, or SAL-Form, n = 7) or bovine colostrum (DOX-Colos, n = 9, or SAL-Colos, n = 7). Pigs were euthanized 5 days after initiation of chemotherapy to assess markers of small intestinal function and inflammation. All DOX-treated animals developed diarrhea, growth deficits, and leukopenia. However, the intestines of DOX-Colos pigs had lower intestinal permeability, longer intestinal villi with higher activities of brush border enzymes, and lower tissue IL-8 levels compared with DOX-Form (all P < 0.05). DOX-Form pigs, but not DOX-Colos pigs, had significantly higher plasma C-reactive protein, compared with SAL-Form. Plasma citrulline was not affected by DOX treatment or diet. Thus a single dose of DOX induces intestinal toxicity in preweaned pigs and may lead to a systemic inflammatory response. The toxicity is affected by type of enteral nutrition with more pronounced GI toxicity when formula is fed compared with bovine colostrum. The results indicate that bovine colostrum may be a beneficial supplementary diet for children subjected to chemotherapy and subsequent intestinal toxicity.

Microbiological Characteristics of Sour-Milk Feed Supplements and their Influence on Intestinal Micro-Biocenosis of Piglets

The research paper provides the results of investigation of “Sour-milk feed supplement” for piglets based on natural association of microorganisms Lactomyces tibeticus. It was found that probiotic microorganisms that compose sour-milk feed supplement withstand the adverse actions of gastrointestinal tract and can be easily acclimatized in the intestinal tract of piglets. Administration of sour-...

Development of intestinal immunoglobulin absorption and enzyme activities in neonatal pigs is diet dependent.

Uptake of colostrum just after birth is essential to stimulate intestinal growth and function, and in many species, including pigs, colostrum also provides immunological protection via the absorption of immunoglobulin G (IgG). In this study, intestinal growth, IgG absorptive capacity and enzyme activities were investigated in newborn pigs in response to different diets. Newborn piglets were bot...

Effects of dietary amines on small intestinal variables in neonatal pigs fed soy protein isolate.

Six litters of newborn crossbred piglets were utilized to examine 1) the effects of substituting 20% of the protein of an all-milk protein liquid diet with a soy protein isolate (milk-soy diet) on small intestinal variables and 2) the effects of supplementing this milk-soy diet with 25 g of either putrescine or ethylamine per kilogram diet on small intestinal variables. Small intestinal xylose ...

Backfat and carcass composition of piglets fed milk replacers containing vegetable oil compared with sow-reared piglets.

The carcass composition of piglets fed artificial milk was compared to sow-reared piglets. The artificial milk diets contained 25%, by weight, soybean oil or mixtures of canola and high erucic acid rapeseed oil. Both the total lipid and nitrogen (apparent) digestibility of the artificial milk diets was high, even when the dietary oil contained high levels of erucic acid. Sow-reared animals were...

Bovine Colostrum Modulates Myeloablative Chemotherapy-Induced Gut Toxicity in Piglets.

BACKGROUND Intensive chemotherapy frequently results in gut toxicity, indicated by oral and intestinal mucositis, resulting in poor treatment outcomes and increased mortality. There are no effective preventive strategies against gut toxicity and the role of diet is unknown. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the severity of chemotherapy-induced gut toxicity in early life is diet-dependent, and th...
