Effects of cortisone and thyroxine on intestinal trehalase activity in infant mouse

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cortisone acetate (25 μg/g b.wt/day) administration to 8-day-old suckling mice induces a premature increase of trehalase activity along the entire small intestine. On the other hand, thyroxine (1 μg/g b.wt/day) is unable to provoke a precocious increase of trehalase activity. Trehalase appears to be the only brush border membrane disaccharidase controlled solely by glucocorticoid hormones during the postnatal maturation of the intestine.
