Abstract

Polyamines commonly exist in animal and plant cells and are widely involved in physiological and pathological processes in organisms. There are three sources of polyamines in animal body:food intake, gut microorganism synthesis and cell synthesis, among which dietary polyamines are the main source. Polyamines have important effects on animal health, including intestinal maturation and differentiation and development of the immune system. In addition, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of polyamines also play an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. In this paper, the physiological function and mechanism of polyamines were discussed from the aspects of the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell migration, immune function, oxidative stress state and myocardial cell apoptosis by polyamines. Meanwhile, the application of polyamines in livestock and poultry production was also described, in order to provide reference for the development and application of polyamines in livestock and poultry feed additives.
