Papers
Non-digestible oligosaccharides and defense functions: lessons learned from animal models.
TL;DR: The assemblages and metabolic activities of the resident bacteria are important determinants of the effectiveness of the various host defense mechanisms and thereby influence the ability of animals to respond to health challenges as discussed by the authors.
Intestinal brush-border membrane enzyme activities and transport functions during prenatal development of pigs.
TL;DR: In light of similarities with human fetuses, the pig may be a valuable model for studying development of intestinal transport during gestation, particularly during the final trimester, when availability of human tissue is limited.

Influence of fermentable fiber on small intestinal dimensions and transport of glucose and proline in dogs.
TL;DR: Diets containing fermentable fibers increase small intestinal dimensions and the capacity for nutrient absorption in dogs and may reduce the risk of enteric infections or aid in treatment of intestinal diseases, particularly those involving reduced nutrient absorption.

Metabolites produced by probiotic Lactobacilli rapidly increase glucose uptake by Caco-2 cells
TL;DR: The rapid, non-genomic upregulation of SGLT1 by bacterial metabolites is a heretofore unrecognized interaction between probiotics and the intestinal epithelium.
Comparison of calcium and magnesium absorption: in vivo and in vitro studies.
TL;DR: Balance studies in intact rats revealed that fractional Ca absorption decreased with increased Ca intake so that net Ca absorption remained constant, and that net Mg absorption increased proportionately with increased dietary Mg.
