Changes of the glutathione redox system during the weaning transition in piglets, in relation to small intestinal morphology and barrier function

Changes of the glutathione redox system during the weaning transition in piglets, in relation to small intestinal morphology and barrier function

Abstract Background Weaning is known to result in barrier dysfunction and villus atrophy in the immediate post-weaning phase, and the magnitude of these responses is hypothesized to correlate with changes in the glutathione (GSH) redox system. Therefore, these parameters were simultaneously measured...
