Can nutraceuticals affect the structure of intestinal mucosa? Qualitative and quantitative microanatomy in L-glutamine diet-supplemented weaning piglets

The 2006 study titled “Can nutraceuticals affect the structure of intestinal mucosa? Qualitative and quantitative microanatomy in L-glutamine diet-supplemented weaning piglets” investigated the effects of dietary L-glutamine supplementation on gut morphology in piglets post-weaning. Over a 28-day period, piglets receiving 0.5% L-glutamine showed increased villus height, crypt depth, and cell
