Summary
Adult male mice receiving a fructose diet show, after three days, a large proliferation of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the jejunal absorptive cells. This extension is a secondary stage of the trememdous increase of the glucose-6-phosphatase activity and seems to result from a crypt regulation. Glucose feeding does not provoke the same morphologic changes.
