Airborne particulate matter and a western style diet as potential environmental factors in the pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
DownloadFall 2012
Inflammatory bowel disease is believed to occure in response to environmental factors resulting in immune dysregulation in genetically predisposed individuals. Such environmental factors include diet, (specifically a “western diet”rich in refined sugars, and fat) and airborne particulate matter...

Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Download2011
Johnson, Ian R., Ewaschuk, Julia B., Murdoch, Gordon K., Field, Catherine J., Madsen, Karen L.
The weaning period is associated with an increased prevalence of gastrointestinal infection in many species. Glutamine (Gln) has been shown to improve intestinal barrier function and immune function in both in vivo and in vitro models. The objective of the present study was to determine the...
