Fermentable Fibers Enhance Aspects of Innate and Adaptive Immunity in Piglets infected with Salmonella Typhimurium.

CONCLUSION: The reduction in chloride secretion, proinflammatory cytokines expression and NFkB activation, and increased number of sulfo-acidomucins, and IL-8 expression in the fiber groups, indicates that the degree of fermentability impacts the innate and adaptive immune system, and could be the mechanisms by which dietary fibers reduce S. typhimurium infection-associated-symptoms in neonatal pigs and apply these results to infants.
