Fructose-responsive genes in the small intestine of neonatal rats
25 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal brush border fructose transporter GLUT5 (SLC2A5) typically appears in rats after weaning is completed. However, precocious consumption of dietary fructose or in vivo perfusion for 4 h of the small intestine with high fructose (HF) specifically stimulates de novo synthesis of GLUT5 mRNA and protein before weaning is completed. Intermediary signals linking the substrate, fructose, to GLUT5...
