Early effects of salmonella endotoxin on the antioxidant enzyme system of the rat liver and intestine

Effects of Glutamine on Digestive Function and Redox Regulation in the Intestines of Broiler Chickens Challenged with Salmonella Enteritidis

“…Salmonella Enteritidis is capable of colonizing the gut effectively (Eliana et al, 2012), and it can produce systemic or septicaemic disease in young chickens. Salmonella attaches to the intestinal cells and epithelium, causing alteration of the redox status of the jejunal mucosa and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase activity in the infected hosts (Popkova et al, 1984;Alaeldein et al, 2017). Moreover, evidence from animal study has shown that S. Enteritidis infection can also adhere to glycoproteins of the intestinal epithelium and induce the activation of immune cells, lead to injury of the colonic mucous epithelium, thereby causing diffuse extraintestinal infections and an inflammatory response with diarrhea (Wu et al, 2018).…”
