TLDR
The cellular and molecular mechanisms of the PRL-stimulated calcium transport in mammals have been elaborated and it is demonstrated that the duodenal calcium absorption in lactating rats was markedly enhanced by the suckling-induced PRL surge, presumably to provide calcium for milk production.About:

Molecular aspects of intestinal calcium absorption.
TL;DR: Better knowledge of the molecular details of intestinal Ca(2+) absorption could lead to the development of nutritional and medical strategies for optimizing the efficiency of intestinal calcium absorption and preventing osteoporosis and other pathologies related to Ca( 2+) metabolism.

TL;DR: This review identifies several areas where there is substantial room for improvement in maintaining healthy ex situ amphibian populations specifically in the areas of obtaining and utilizing natural history data for both amphibians and their dietary items, achieving more appropriate environmental parameters, understanding stress and hormone production, and promoting better physical and population health.

Vitamin D-enhanced duodenal calcium transport.
TL;DR: Vitamin D-independent calcium absorption does exist and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis under certain conditions, particularly in neonatal period, pregnancy, and lactation as well as in naturally vitamin D-impoverished subterranean mammals.

Prolactin (PRL) and Its Receptor: Actions, Signal Transduction Pathways and Phenotypes Observed in PRL Receptor Knockout Mice
TL;DR: It is clear that there are multiple actions associated with PRL, and the technique of gene targeting in mice has been used to develop the first experimental model in which the effect of the complete absence of any lactogen or PRL-mediated effects can be studied.

Physiology and Function of the Tight Junction
James M. Anderson,Van Itallie Cm +1 more
TL;DR: Current information suggests that the paracellular barrier is most usefully modeled as having two physiologic components: a system of charge-selective small pores, 4 A in radius, and a second pathway created by larger discontinuities in the barrier, lacking charge or size discrimination.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the amphioxus genome is elemental to an understanding of the biology and evolution of nonchordate deuterostomes, invertebrate chordates, and vertebrates.

TL;DR: It is shown, by using RNA interference and overexpression strategies, that claud in-2 and claudin-12 contribute to Ca(2+) absorption in intestinal epithelial cells, and a novel mechanism behind vitamin D-dependent calcium homeostasis is highlighted.

The role of prolactin in fish osmoregulation: a review.
TL;DR: Much of the recent work has focused on the isolation and characterization of fish PRLs and their receptors, which have provided the necessary tools to obtain a better understanding of the evolution of PRL and its role in osmoregulation.
