- Abstract:
- The polyphenols are able to reduce the amount of free radicals and stimulate the immune response. In this study, polyphenols extracted from olive mill wastewaters, were fed to pigs for three months. Morphological, inflammation and immunological parameters were evaluated. Historical samples of gastrointestial tracts were analyzed for immunodetection of cyclooxygenase-2; superoxide anion production in primary cell cultures of blood leukocytes and alveolar macrophages was measured.
