By: J. Gookin n, S. Chiang*, J. Allen*, M. Armstrong*, S. Stauffer*, C. Finnegan, M. Murtaugh

author keywords: nitric oxide; barrier function; diarrhea; cryptosporidiosis
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Newborn; Body Weight; Chlorides / metabolism; Cryptosporidiosis / enzymology; Cryptosporidiosis / metabolism; Cryptosporidium parvum / immunology; Epithelial Cells / metabolism; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Ileum / cytology; Ileum / metabolism; Ileum / ultrastructure; Intestinal Mucosa / cytology; Intestinal Mucosa / metabolism; Intestinal Mucosa / pathology; NF-kappa B / metabolism; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / genetics; Nitric Oxide Synthase Type II / metabolism; Swine; Swine Diseases / enzymology; Swine Diseases / metabolism; Swine Diseases / parasitology
