Distribution and Relative Abundance of Nutrient Transporter mRNA in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Black Bears
… used for this study. For tissue collection, the intestine was removed from the animal and divided into five sections. Each collected section was opened longitudinally, rinsed in ice-cold PBS, and the mucosal scrapings were stored at -80C. Total RNA was extracted and quantified by …

Impact of Dietary Proteins on Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology, and mRNA Abundance in Weanling Pigs
… of dietary proteins on gene expression in the intestine, 54 weanling pigs were fed either 6 % SDPP, 0.5 % Peptiva®, or soy control diets, and were killed 3 or 10 d after weaning. Northern blot results revealed significant diet by intestinal segment interactions (P < 0.05) for aminopeptidase A …

Functional Genomic Examinations Of Interactions Between Common Members Of The Human Gut Microbiota
… resources to adapt to life together in the distal gut. I first annotated the complete genome sequences of two human gut Bacteroidetes <italic>(Bacteroides vulgatus</italic> and <italic>Parabacteroides distasonis)</italic> and two Firmicutes <italic>(Eubacterium rectale</italic> and …

Interactions Between Microbial, Neuronal, and Immune Cells in the Digestive System
<p>The intestine is the largest continuous environmental interface of the body. As such, it exerts homeostatic tissue functions, including digestion, sensing and absorption of nutrients, and excretion of waste products. In performing these roles, the intestine faces the unique challenge of …

Sympathy for the Microbiota: How Changes in Gut Microbial Composition Influence the Immune System and Basic Physiology by Way of the Sympathetic Nervous System
… inflammatory and ever-changing environment, the intestine must be able to balance tolerance to dietary antigens and microbes, while remaining vigilant when exposed to potentially toxic substances or pathogens. Sensing of the microbiota has been previously shown to impact the intestinal immune and …

Butyrate-induced upregulation of intestinal glucose transport and signaling pathways represent a possible nutrient therapy for individuals with malabsorptive disorders
… mitigate the negative consequences of a damaged intestine, and reduce the need or intensity of costly supportive therapies. Attaining nutrients is a careful orchestration of diet, digestion, and absorption. In a typical “Western” diet, approximately half the calories are derived from …
