#Flavonoids & #Polyphenols
#Biomarkets to establish #mode_of_action and efficacy of feed additives in animal nutrition.
#Flavonoids is a real strategy and complementary to find alternatives to AGP and as ZnO replacement. To make things easier to technical teams, these anti-inflammatory agents should be proved as first step IN VITRO and later to show its benefits IN VIVO.
The use of inflammatory markets are key for this selection.
Problems due to inflammatory process
1.- Lower feed intake
2.- Catabolism muscle
3.- Diseases
4.- Increasing pathogens (Ej.Clostridium)
5.- Affected INTESTINAL PERMEABILITY.
6.- Increasing MALABSORTION process.
#Biomarkers
Less invasive: Plasma and acute phase proteins.
NON-invasive: Faecal, urine, saliva.
Biomarkers in human
- Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) (Cell damaged, inflammation)
- Claudin 3 (permeability, link inflammation)
- Pancreatitis Associated Protein (PAP,reg3) (Inflammation)
- MPO (Mieloperoxidase)
- Acute Pase proteins (haptoglobin)
#PigIntestinal
Enterocyte
- Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (IFABP) (Cell damaged, inflammation)
- Claudin 3 (permeability, link inflammation)
- Pancreatitis Associated Protein (PAP,Reg3) (Inflammation)
#Blood
Acute Phase proteins (haptoglobin)
Inflammatory cells markers
MPO (Mieloperoxidase)
Enterotoxigenix E.coli test post infection
Human Elisa cross reacts
For acute enterocyte damage
#Plasma, Urine and faeces
PAP
Pancreatitis associated protein (also Reg 3)
mRNA level (Elisa Test)
#CONCLUSIONS FOR ANIMAL NUTRITION
1.- Intestinal health can be determined by using faecal markers IN VIVO and cell system IN VITRO.
2.- Inflammatory markets such as PAP and MPO similar results different species.
3.- Faecal MPO is the cheapest and simple
4.- Other parameters as villus/ crypt ratio, microbiota provide extra information,
5- IN VITRO markets are essential to establish comparative feed additives activity. (check with your experts the key ones).
