Article Synopsis
- Diabetes affects the function and structure of the small intestine in both humans and experimental animals, specifically altering enzyme activity in enterocytes.
- In a study with male Wistar rats, those with early-onset (n0-STZ) and later-onset (n5-STZ) diabetes displayed higher blood sugar levels but lower insulin compared to non-diabetic rats.
- The diabetic rats showed increased activities of the enzymes sucrase and maltase, indicating enhanced glucose absorption, while the enzyme PFK-1 was found to be lower in these diabetic models.
