The rheological characteristics and transit time of gastric digesta and the postprandial glycaemic response in mice orally administered with water (control) or pectin solutions supplemented (AP-Ca) or not supplemented (AP) with CaCO were elucidated. AP and AP-Ca increased viscosity, storage and loss moduluses (G' and G'') of mice gastric digesta. The gelling capacity of AP-Ca in acidic gastric conditions appeared to provide a greater enhancement of gastric digesta viscosity compared with AP. The postprandial blood glucose concentration was lower in mice orally administered with AP or AP-Ca compared with control mice. The transit time of gastric digesta and the blood glucose concentration were affected in mice orally administered with AP during the early postprandial period. The effect of AP-Ca on the gastric digesta rheology and transit time was stronger than that of AP. Both of the pectin solutions failed to reduce food intake in mice.

It is helpful for diagnostic purposes to improve our current knowledge of gut development and serum biochemistry in young piglets. This study investigated serum biochemistry, and gut site-specific patterns of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and expression of genes related to barrier function, innate immune response, antioxidative status and sensing of fatty and bile acids in suckling and newly weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of two replicate batches with 10 litters each.

Global warming represents one of the most pressing environmental challenges to cold-water fish farming. Heat stress markedly alters the mucosal symbiotic microbiota and intestinal microbial metabolites in fish, posing substantial barriers to the healthy artificial breeding of rainbow trout (). However, the relationship between mucosal commensal microbiota, intestinal metabolites, and host environmental adaptability under heat stress remains poorly understood.

This study investigates the potential of soy protein isolate (SPI) to enhance the bioaccessibility of oleic acid (OA), a beneficial fatty acid linked to reduced blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. Using an digestion model, we examined how the interactions between SPI-derived peptides and bile salts (BS) evolve during gastric and gastroduodenal digestion and how these interactions influence OA micellar solubility. SPI with a soluble fraction (SF) of 16% was digested for 10 and 60 min (tg10 and tg60), and the resulting digesta were evaluated for their ability to enhance OA solubilization in BS micelles.

The kinetics of degradation of nutrients from diets or ingredients contributes to the nutritional value of feed ingredients. The aim of this study was to quantify the kinetics of nitrogen (N) solubilization and hydrolysis for feed ingredients varying in protein content and ileal protein digestibility by a modified 2-step enzymatic in vitro incubation assay. The amount of N subjected to in vitro incubation was standardized (approximately 0.

To assess the nutritional value of fibrous diets, external metal oxide-based markers are commonly used. Given the increasing restrictions on the use of these conventional markers, we investigated the inertness of lignin in pigs and correspondingly its potential as an internal marker. Hereto, feces and digesta were collected from pigs fed a diet containing wheat straw as sole lignin source, and lignin was quantified by C-IS py-GC-MS.
