Activities of Intestinal Enzymes in Experimental Chronic Renal Insufficiency

Abstract: Rats with chronic uremia following five-sixths nephrectomy showed a significant fall in the sucrase and maltase activities in the small intestinal mucosa, the lactase and cellobiase activities in contrast remained uninfluenced. The activity of the L-leucyl-L-proline and L-methionyl-L-proline dipeptidases in the small intestinal mucosa was significantly increased, while the activities of seven other dipeptidases studied were unaffected. The mucosal protein and DNA content likewise remained unchanged. Occasional… Show more

“…Several enzymatic reactions carried out by the intestinal mucosa have been shown to be decreased in rats with CRF. For instance, sucrase and maltase activities, as well as xanthine oxidase, were significantly reduced, whereas the activities of other dipeptidases were unchanged (Grimmel et al, 1977). More recently, we have also demonstrated that intestinal cytochrome P450 is reduced in CRF .…”

“…Uraemic rats given a diet with normal protein content exhibit increased activities of some dipeptidases in homo genate of mucosa and in brush border preparations [1,[17][18][19]. We found that glycyl-L-leucine and L-methionyl-L-methionine dipeptidase activities were increased, but that the L-alanyl-L-proline dipeptidase activity was un changed in uraemic rats given a normal diet (24% protein) [1].…”

“…Grimmer et al [5,6] showed a drecrease of sucrase and maltase activities of the intestinal mucosa, whereas Wizemann et al [19] found an increase of maltase and no change in lactase and sucrase, and Sterner et al [18] observed a slight increase of sucrase and no change in maltase, trehalase and lactase.…”
