Effect of diet upon intestinal disaccharidases and disaccharide absorption.

چکیده
The administration of a carbohydrate-containing diet for 24 hours to rats previously fasted for 3 days led to a twofold increase in total intestinal sucrase and sucrase specific activity. The specific activity of maltase was similarly increased, but lactase activity was unaffected. The sucrose-containing diet led to a greater increase in sucrase than maltase activity, whereas the converse was true of the maltose-containing diet. A carbohydrate-free isocaloric diet led to a slight increase in the total intestinal sucrase, but sucrase specific activity was unchanged. Assay of sucrase activity of mixed homogenates from casein-fed and sucrose-fed rats or fasted and sucrose-fed animals yielded activities that were additive. The Michaelis constant (Km) of the enzyme hydrolyzing sucrose was similar in the fasted, casein-fed, and sucrose-fed rats. The maximal velocity (Vmax) was twice greater in sucrose-fed as compared to casein-fed or fasted rats, suggesting an increased quantity of enzyme subsequent to sucrose feeding. Adrenalectomized rats maintained on 1.0% salt intake had sucrase and maltase levels comparable to those of controls. Steroid administration did not significantly increase their activities. The response to sucrose feeding was similar in both control and adrenalectomized rats, indicative of the absence of steroidal control on sucrase and maltase activity in the adult animal. Studies using intestinal ring preparations indicated that sucrose hydrolysis by the intact cells proceeded more rapidly when animals were fed sucrose. Additional corroboration of the physiologic significance of the increased enzyme levels in homogenates was afforded by intestinal perfusion studies. Sucrose hydrolysis increased twofold and fructose absorption fourfold in animals fed sucrose when compared to either fasted or casein-fed rats.

Combined assessment of intestinal disaccharidases in congenital asucrasia by differential urinary disaccharide excretion.
Investigation of intestinal disaccharide hydrolysis and permeability by means of a non-invasive differential sugar absorption test was performed in a family containing two siblings with primary sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. The procedure, which depends on measurement of urinary excretion ratios after the oral administration of lactose, sucrose, palatinose, lactulose and L-rhamnose, is capable ...

were performed in all except 2 patients. Lactose absorption was more impaired and intestinal lactase levels were lower in the pellagra than in the kwashiorkor group. The fact that diarrhoea after admission to hospital was less common in pellagra than kwashiorkor was ascribed to a lesser lactose load due to the early introduction of a mixed diet in the former group, in comparison with milk feeds...
متن کاملEffect of diet on disaccharidase activity in the chick.
I. The influence of diet, particularly dietary carbohydrate, on the development of the intestinal disaccharidases of the chick was studied. 2. The maltase activity in the small intestine was similar in groups of 1;-d-old chicks that had been fed, from hatching, on diets containing either starch, glucose, maltose, sucrose, or a mixture of 50 yo glucose + 50 yo lactose, as the source of carbohydr...
متن کاملEffect of diet on digestive and absorptive functions of rat small intestine.
Fractionation of epithelial cells of the small intestine has indicated that the brush border membrane binds many hydrolytic enzymes, such as maltase, sucrase, lactase, leucine aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase (1). Some of these enzymes have been believed to play a fundamental role in the terminal digestion of nutrients. The brush border was also identified as the site of absorption of di...
