Adaptation of the activity of membrane carbohydrases of chick small intestine to various carbohydrates.
Adaptation changes in membrane carbohydrases and those localized in the apical glycocalyx of enterocytes have been studied in chicks under the impact of carbohydrates. The investigated enzymes were not equally adapted to the carbohydrates of various degrees of polymerization. The response character of membrane carbohydrases depends on proximo-distal localization of enzymes in the small intestine and it is not specific to carbohydrates.
