I prebiotici riducono l'espressione genica di citochine pro-infiammatorie nell'intestino dei suinetti

Prebiotics reduce gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in piglets’ guts Among the different additives used during weaning in piglets, a particular interest is reserved to probiotics, in particular to Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS), complex carbohydrates derived from cellular wall of yeasts. In this article, the authors show the result of a trail carried out to assess whether mannan oligosaccharides can play a role on anti-inflammatory activities of guts, besides having a positive influence on the microbial balance of this organ.
