[Effect of alloxan diabetes on (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase in brush border membrane of the mucosal cell of rat small intestine].
In order to elucidate a possible relationship between (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase and intestinal absorption of actively transported monosaccharides enzyme activity was measured in mucosal cells from alloxan diabetic rats. The general effect of increasing capacity of active, Na+-dependent transport processes in diabetes mellitus is associated with a significantly enhanced (Na+ +K+)-activated ATPase activity in mucosal homogenate from diabetic animals. To study the localization of these effects within the cell we isolated purified brush borders and their substructures. To enable a comparison to be made between preparation procedures of diabetic and control animals the fractions were controlled by electronmicroscopy and by measuring the sucrase activity. In the purified brush border fraction of alloxan treated rats there was no significant increase in (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase activity. Based on these results we conclude that the (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase in the basolateral membranes was increased in alloxan diabetes, and it seems very likely that this enzyme is involved in the regulation of Na+-dependent transport processes.
