[Intestinal adaptation and enzymatic changes following reciprocal jejunoileal transposition in rats. Effects of a high-fructose diet].
The longitudinal localization of nine enzymes of the carbohydrate metabolism was studied in rats fed standard or high fructose diets, two months after a reciprocal jejuno-ileal transposition. In the ileal segment transposed to jejunal location, an adaptive increase of mucosal mass was observed, but the functional characteristics of enterocytes remained the same in the case of triokinase, aldolase, triose phosphate isomerase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities. In the case of ketohexokinase and hexokinase activities, the functional properties of cells tended to resemble that of jejunum, as revealed by a significant increase in the specific enzyme activity. In the jejunum transposed to the place of the ileum, the fundamental properties of enterocytes and the functional capacity of the gut were maintained except in the case of fructose-1.6-bis phosphatase and of glucose-6-phosphatase. The high fructose diet did not facilitate the re-establishment of the gradient in its normal, aboral, direction. Indeed except for glucose-6-phosphatase, the enzymes of the jejunum transposed to the place of the ileum kept a high sensitivity and the enzymes of transposed ileum a low sensitivity to dietary fructose. Our conclusion is that the response to the diet depends more on the original position of the intestinal segment than on the local nutritional conditions and therefore that the basal activity of the majority of the intracellular enzymes implicated in carbohydrate metabolism and also their regulatory systems, are an intrinsic characteristic of the intestinal cells.
