GI Solano-Aguilar, S Jang, S Lakshman, R Gupta… - Nutrients, 2018 - mdpi.com
A study was designed to determine the potential prebiotic effect of dietary mushrooms on the
host immune response, and intestinal microbiota composition and function. Thirty-one six-
week-old pigs were fed a pig grower diet alone or supplemented with either three or six
servings of freeze-dried white button (WB)-mushrooms for six weeks. Host immune response
was evaluated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), and alveolar macrophages
(AM) after stimulation with Salmonella typhymurium-Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Isolated …
