Effect of prenatal and neonatal pantothenic acid deficiency on rat intestinal phosphatases

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Alkaline phosphatase activity was increased in the distal part of the small intestine of pantothenic acid deficient neonatal rats, while acid phosphatase activity was slightly increased and protein concentration was decreased throughout the small intestine. The growth and maturation of the distal part of the small intestine were retarded more severely than in the proximal part.
