Does bacterial colonization affect the intestinal proteome of preterm pigs susceptible to necrotizing enterocolitis?
The premature intestine is highly responsive to initial bacterial colonization and the specific bacteria-related proteome changes may contribute to the stress response that makes the immature intestine sensitive to the pro-inflammatory effects of enteral feeding.
EGb can suppress cell hypertrophy and the accumulation of ECM in rat mesangial cells, which means it could play a vital role in the delay of glomerulosclerosis in diabetic nephropathy.
