Popis: | Administration of exogenous thyroid hormones precociously increase intestinal sucrase activity (SA) in suckling rats. To differentiate the effects of thyroid and adrenal hormones on SA, intact suckling Sprague-Dawley rats were given TSH (0.5U) bid or water subcutaneously from day 14 until sacrifice on day 18. Results are shown below (x+SEM). Serum T4 and corticosterone (CS) as well as SA in the jejunum (J), mid-jejunum (MJ) and ileum (I) were all significantly increased in intact TSH treated rats. Sucklings were then adrenalectomized (ADX) on day 14 and given TSH (0.5 or 1.0U) bid or water subcutaneously until sacrifice on day 18. No significant differences in SA were found between ADX sucklings given TSH(1 or 2U/day) and ADX controls given water only. In the absence of the adrenal glands, physiologic elevation of endogenous thyroid hormones by TSH does not alter the maturational time course of intestinal sucrase activity. |
