“…Our results showed that in general the expression levels of SGLT1 were up-regulated in the first week; however, the regulatory mechanism behind these increases in SGLT1 levels is unknown. If it is correct that SGLT1 is regulated at the transcriptional level, our results could explain the reports of Moreno and colleagues who reported that the glucose transport rate was highest right after hatching but decreased thereafter and was lowest in older birds (Moreno, Otero, Tur, Planas, & Esteban, 1996).
