Evaluation of intestinal response to zinc restriction and zinc sources in pigs
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We evaluated the intestinal responses of pigs under zinc restriction and under different zinc sources through RNA-seq of ileal samples. We identified changes in genes related to zinc transport, immune response, cell proliferation, DNA damage and stress resposne. Our findings demonstrate that swine intestine is responsive to zinc restriction and can be a model sentinel tissue for human zinc deficiency. Further research is needed to define the intestinal responses to organic and inorganic zinc sources.
