TL;DR: It was concluded that moderate concentrations of CT can be used to increase the efficiency of protein digestion and to improve animal health under grazing, producing more sustainable grazing systems.

TL;DR: The human intestinal epithelium is formed by a single layer of epithelial cells that separates the intestinal lumen from the underlying lamina propria, which is sealed by tight junctions (TJ), which regulate the permeability of the intestinal barrier.

TL;DR: It was concluded that defined concentrations of forage CT can be used to increase the efficiencies of protein digestion and animal productivity in forage-fed ruminants and to develop more ecologically sustainable systems of controlling some diseases under grazing.

TL;DR: The zebrafish GAPDH gene appears unsuitable as reference gene for both types of studies, and the EF1α, Rpl13α and 18S rRNA genes are more suitable as a reference gene panel for zebra fish tissue analysis.

TL;DR: These recent investigations may ultimately enable the expression by genetic engineering of increased levels of PA in the leaves of agriculturally important forage plants such as white clover and perennial rye grass, which will withstand continuous defoliation under grazing and currently contain only trace amounts of PA, which could potentially lead to the widespread use ofPA in temperate grazing systems.
