The beginning of the piglet intestine inflammatory process begins with the production of phospholipase 2A (PLA2).
Following activation dentritche cells and macrophages IL 2 and granulocyte netrofili arrival in the basal lamina with release of ROS.
Simultaneously, the dysbiosis following the food change involves a dell'immunotolleranza stopping and thus also provides you with an inflammatory process.
In severe cases the presence of ROS leads to a mutation of the bacteria as E. coli which through the lambda phage becomes enterotoxigenic.
Lock upstream the production of PLA2 allows to wean piglets without addition of antimicrobials.
