The pH in the intestinal contents and the lipase activities in the pancreas of pigs. The pH values in contents of the duodenum (A), jejunum (B), and ileum (C) and lipase activities in the pancreas (D) of pigs were analyzed. CON-2 = piglets with an oral administration of fresh Luria–Bertani broth (50 mL) followed by an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of an equivalent volume of PBS; K88 = piglets orally challenged with 1 × 1010 cfu enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88 on day 1 followed by an i.p. injection of an equivalent volume (1 mL) of PBS; K88 + APK = piglets orally challenged with 1 × 1010 cfu ETEC K88 on day 1 followed by an i.p. injection of 0.6 mg/kg KR-32 in Exp. 2; APK = antimicrobial peptide KR-32; U = units of lipase activity; gprot = mass of protein (g). Data are means and SD. n = 6 for the CON-2 group, n = 5 for the K88 group, and n = 5 for the K88 + APK group.
