What this study shows

Glutamine supplementation alleviated bisphenol A-induced jejunal injury in piglets, restoring mitochondrial energy metabolism and barrier integrity alongside modulation of AMPK-mTOR signalling.

Abstract

ShowHide

Bisphenol A (BPA) disrupts intestinal homeostasis and promotes epithelial injury in piglets. Glutamine (Gln) is a vital energy substrate for intestinal epithelial cells. Piglet and porcine intestinal epithelial cell models were used. BPA exposure impaired intestinal morphology and barrier integrity, with reduced tight junction protein expression, decreased epithelial renewal capacity, altered JNK/MAPK signaling and disrupted mitochondrial structure and energy metabolism.

At a glance

Evidence type A Animal model Marked A because it is an animal intervention or observation study measuring an organismal outcome (model: Piglet; porcine intestinal epithelial cells); the code names the system studied -- animal work can be rigorous and still not be human data.
