Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a persistent pathogen that causes significant economic losses to the global swine industry. Commercial vaccines provide only partial protection, and no effective therapeutic treatments are currently available. In this study, we demonstrate that hesperetin (Hst), a flavonoid glycoside derived from orange and tangerine peels, inhibits PRRSV replication in a dose-dependent manner in Marc-145 and PAMs cells.

Intracellular metabolic processes are essential for maintaining the normal physiological activities of bacteria, and an increasing body of research has demonstrated a significant association between metabolic alterations and the development of drug resistance. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the addition of adjuvants can counteract bacterial antibiotic resistance.

Here, we explored the immunoregulatory mechanisms of TPSs from fresh tea leaves in a mouse model of cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced immunosuppression in terms of gut microbiota and metabolites. We observed that TPSs significantly increased the body weight and alleviated CTX-induced thymus atrophy in the immunosuppressed mice; they also increased the plasma levels of immunoglobulins A and M, interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and tumor necrosis factor α.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAmoxicillin and sulbactam are widely used in animal food compounding. Amoxicillin-sulbactam hybrid molecules are bicester compounds made by linking amoxicillin and sulbactam with methylene groups and have good application prospects. However, the residual elimination pattern of these hybrid molecules in animals needs to be explored.
