title: Comparative study of some intestinal brush border membrane enzymes during perinatal development of the mouse.
abstract: Intestinal brush border membrane (bbm) fractions have been isolated from fetal and neonatal mice. The existence of discordant developmental patterns of intestinal enzymatic activity derived from total homogenate and bbm fraction was confirmed. It originates chiefly from two phenomena: (a) variations in the state of purity of brush border fractions, and (b) loss of brush border membrane enzyme activities in supernatant that increases with age. The phenomenon of solubility for glucoamylase and alkaline phosphatase is already present two days before birth.
