Twenty-four barrows (Danbred \u00d7 Duroc) were randomly allotted to four diets (supplemented with 10 g\/kg of crude fibre and 120 mg Zn\/kg) that consisted of cellulose and either zinc sulphate (C) or zinc glycinate (ZnGly), or contained potato fibre supplemented with ZnSO4 (PF) or ZnGly (PF + ZnGly). Feeding PF can influence the Zn absorption in the small intestine due to reduced zinc transporters MT1 and ZnT1 in the jejunum. The activity of antioxidant enzyme SOD and liver ZnT1, and duodenal iron concentrations were increased in the PF treatments. Dietary ZnGly did not significantly influence the Zn distribution, but it may alter the absorption of Fe and Mn. Given the elevated content of thiol groups and the Zn\/Cu ratio in plasma, as well as the altered SOD activity and MT content in the tissues, we can conclude that feeding PF and ZnGly can influence the mineral and antioxidant status of growing piglets. However, further research is needed in order to elucidate the effect of both dietary sources on the transport systems of other minerals in enterocytes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani9080497","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]],"date-time":"2019-07-29T11:20:18Z","timestamp":1564399218000},"page":"497","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Dietary Zinc and Fibre Source can Influence the Mineral and Antioxidant Status of Piglets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Holodova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Soltesovej 4-6, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Klaudia","family":"Cobanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Soltesovej 4-6, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zuzana","family":"Sefcikova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Soltesovej 4-6, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3428-9805","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Barszcz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, Instytucka 3, 05-110 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7480-3592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Tu\u015bnio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, Instytucka 3, 05-110 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8963-9745","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcin","family":"Taciak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Kielanowski Institute of Animal Physiology and Nutrition, Polish Academy of Sciences, Instytucka 3, 05-110 Jab\u0142onna, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2982-5298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lubomira","family":"Gresakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Physiology, Centre of Biosciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Soltesovej 4-6, 04001 Kosice, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"976","DOI":"10.5713\/ajas.1999.976","article-title":"Nutritional Requirements of Early Weaned Pigs\u2014Review","volume":"12","author":"Thacker","year":"1999","journal-title":"Asian Australas.
