AGE-RELATED-CHANGES IN JEJUNAL GLUCOSE-ABSORPTION IN MICE

NUTRITION RESEARCH, 14(3), 411–422.

By: A. Bird*, W. Croom, L. Daniel & B. Black

author keywords: AGING; INTESTINE; ABSORPTION; GLUCOSE; MICE
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that age specifically modifies active transport function in mouse jeJunal mucosa without concomitant alterations in the structure of the jejunal wall. (via Semantic Scholar)

JEJUNAL GLUCOSE-ABSORPTION IS ENHANCED BY EPIDERMAL GROWTH-FACTOR IN MICE

JOURNAL OF NUTRITION, 124(2), 231–240.

By: A. Bird*, W. Croom, Y. Fan, L. Daniel, B. Black n, B. Mcbride *, E. Eisen, L. Bull, I. Taylor*

author keywords: EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR; GLUCOSE; ABSORPTION; INTESTINE; MICE
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Animals; Biological Transport, Active / drug effects; Body Weight / drug effects; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Eating / drug effects; Epidermal Growth Factor / administration & dosage; Epidermal Growth Factor / blood; Epidermal Growth Factor / pharmacology; Female; Glucose / pharmacokinetics; Injections, Subcutaneous; Intestinal Absorption / drug effects; Jejunum / drug effects; Jejunum / metabolism; Male; Mice; Mice, Inbred ICR; Organ Size / drug effects; Oxygen Consumption / drug effects; Random Allocation; Sex Characteristics
TL;DR: In both experiments, the active component of glucose transport was increased by epidermal growth factor while passive transport was not affected, and in both studies, jejunal morphology and mucosal DNA and protein concentration were not altered by epidesis growth factor treatment.

SOMATOTROPIN TRANSGENIC MICE HAVE REDUCED JEJUNAL ACTIVE GLUCOSE-TRANSPORT RATES

JOURNAL OF NUTRITION, 124(11), 2189–2196.

By: A. Bird n, W. Croom n, B. Black n, Y. Fan  n & L. Daniel n

author keywords: TRANSGENIC; ABSORPTION; MICE SOMATOTROPIN; SMALL INTESTINE
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Transport, Active; Body Weight; Female; Glucose / metabolism; Growth Hormone / genetics; Growth Hormone / physiology; Intestinal Absorption; Intestinal Mucosa / chemistry; Jejunum / metabolism; Jejunum / physiology; Male; Mice; Mice, Transgenic; Organ Size; Species Specificity
TL;DR: There are substantial differences in nutrient absorptive efficiency between intestinal tract from MT-bGH and control mice, and these results suggest that there was no significant difference in total small intestinal tract glucose transport between control and MT- bGH mice.

THE EFFECT OF LONG R(3) INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH-FACTOR-I ON JEJUNAL GLUCOSE-ABSORPTION IN MICE

NUTRITION RESEARCH, 14(7), 1101–1112.

By: A. Bird*, W. Croom, B. Brown & L. Daniel

author keywords: IGF-I; SMALL INTESTINE; ABSORPTION; GLUCOSE; MICE
TL;DR: Weight of the stomach and small and large intestine were similar for both groups, however, treatment with long R 3 IGF-I reduced the length of the small intestine and short-term administration of long R 2 insulin-like growth factor does not appear to cause alterations in intestinal absorption of glucose.

TROPICAL PASTURE HAY UTILIZATION WITH SLAFRAMINE AND COTTONSEED MEAL - RUMINAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DIGESTA PASSAGE IN WETHERS

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCE, 71(6), 1634–1640.

By: A. Bird*, W. Croom n, J. Bailey*, B. Osullivan *, W. Hagler n, G. Gordon, P. Martin*

author keywords: PARASYMPATHOMIMETICS; COTTONSEED MEAL; FORAGE; SHEEP
MeSH headings : Alkaloids / administration & dosage; Alkaloids / pharmacology; Ammonia / analysis; Animal Feed; Animals; Bacteria / drug effects; Bacteria / growth & development; Cottonseed Oil / administration & dosage; Dietary Fiber / metabolism; Digestion / drug effects; Eating; Fatty Acids, Volatile / analysis; Food, Fortified; Gastrointestinal Transit / drug effects; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Injections, Intramuscular / veterinary; Male; Mycotoxins / administration & dosage; Mycotoxins / pharmacology; Parasympathomimetics / administration & dosage; Parasympathomimetics / pharmacology; Poaceae; Rumen / chemistry; Rumen / drug effects; Rumen / microbiology; Salivation / drug effects; Sheep / physiology
TL;DR: SF-induced changes in the ruminal environment, whole-tract apparent nutrient digestibility, N and mineral balance, and ruminal VFA concentrations were not changed; however, Cottonseed meal supplementation of a Mitchell grass hay diet improved nutritional status and attenuated live weight loss.
