Induction of porcine host defense peptide gene expression by short-chain fatty acids and their analogs.

Induction of porcine host defense peptide gene expression by short-chain fatty acids and their analogs.

Dietary modulation of the synthesis of endogenous host defense peptides (HDPs) represents a novel antimicrobial approach for disease control and prevention, particularly against antibiotic-resistant infections. However, HDP regulation by dietary compounds such as butyrate is species-dependent. To ex...
