title: Organ culture of adult mouse intestine IV. Stimulation of glucose-6-phosphatase in vitro.
abstract: Explants of adult mouse jejunum have been maintained in organ culture with or without fructose added to the medium in order to stimulate the intestinal glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase). When the fructose is added, at the beginning of the culture, a three-fold increase of G-6-Pase in measured during the first 24 h. If the fructose is added after 24 h of culture, no significant increase of the G-6-Pase is registered in comparison with the controls. Proteins, DNA content and dissacharidase activities are not modified during the culture. Alkaline phosphatase activity presents a twofold increase in the controls and stimulated explants. The ultrastructural localization of the G-6-Pase is not altered during the culture.
