Phenotypical and Functional Analysis of Intraepithelial Lymphocytes from Small Intestine of Mice in Oral Tolerance by Maristela Ruberti, Luis Gustavo Romani Fernandes, Patricia Ucelli Simioni, Dirce Lima Gabriel, Áureo Tatsumi Yamada, Wirla Maria da Silva Cunha Tamashiro

“…In this work, we evaluated the effects of administration of OVA on phenotype and function of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) from small intestine of transgenic (TGN) DO11.10 and wild-type BALB/c mice. While the small intestines from BALB/c presented a well preserved structure, those from TGN showed an inflamed aspect. …”

Effects of Red Clover Isoflavones on Growth Performance, Immune Function, and Cecal Microflora of Mice by Rongrong Guo, Xuqin Song, Xiaodie Li, Cheng Zeng, Ying Chen, Chunjie Li, Jian Yang, Deyuan Ou

“…We hypothesize that red clover isoflavones (RCIs) achieve health-promoting effects via altering the gut microbiota. A total of 48 mice (20 ± 2 g) were randomly divided into a control group, low-dose group (0.05% RCIs in feed), middle-dose group (0.1% RCIs in feed), and high-dose group (0.2% RCIs in feed) with 12 mice per group. …”

Multi-protective effects of wheat embryo globulin on D-gal-induced aging mice by Aimei Liaoa, Xing Lyu, Jiarui Ma, Yinchen Hou, Ming Hui, Na Liu, Yi Zhao, Yixiang Cui, Jihong Huang

“…Pathological observations indicated that WEG protected against damage to brain in D-gal-induced aging mice. These results effectively revealed that WEG not only improved the abilities of learning and memory, and the cognitive impairment, but also delayed the aging process of the D-gal-induced mice.…”
