Effect of somatostatin on small intestine enzyme activities in rat and chick.
The influence of somatostatin injection on intestinal disaccharidase and alkaline phosphatase activity in rat and chick was investigated. Disaccharidase and alkaline phosphatase activities of rat and chick homogenates were not modified. In rat the activities of mucosal brush-border maltase and sucrase were significantly increased. In chick brush-border a significant increase of duodenal mucosal activity and duodenal and jejunal sucrase activity is observed.
