BACKGROUND: Long-distance transportation, a frequent practice in the cattle industry, stresses calves and results in morbidity, mortality and growth suppression, leading to welfare concerns and economic losses. Alkaline mineral water (AMW) is an electrolyte additive containing mu...
This study, conducted under a high-concentrate finishing context, used an integrated multi-omics approach to evaluate the effects of an Alkaline Mineral Complex (AMC) on jejunal digestion–absorption and gut health in beef cattle. The results showed that AMC alleviated mucosal pathological injury ...
The overall goal of this study was to determine if Aquamin®, a multi-mineral natural product, would alter the expression of proteins involved in growth-regulation and differentiation in the colon. Thirty healthy human subjects (at risk for colorectal cancer) were enrolled in a three-arm, 90-day inte...
Human colon organoids were maintained in culture medium alone or exposed to lipopolysaccharide with a combination of three pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-a, interleukin-1b and interferon-g [LPS-cytokines]) to mimic the environment in the inflamed colon. Untreated organoids and tho...
Introduction: Aquamin, a multi-mineral product derived from fossilized red marine algae, has been shown to improve colon barrier structure and function. Mesalamine is commonly used as maintenance therapy for patients with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) or those in remission. Our long-term ...
