Intestinal transcriptional profiling reveals fava bean-induced immune response in DBA/1 mice
Abstract Background Fava beans (FBs) have long been used as food, and their principal disadvantage is derived from their haemotoxicity. We hypothesized that FB ingestion alters the intestinal gene expression pattern, thereby inducing an immune response. Results In-depth sequence analysis identified...
