title: Dietary induced increase of lactase activity in adult rats is independent of adrenals.
abstract: Adult rats fed 10 days a low starch-high fat diet were either adrenalectomized or sham-operated and force-fed the same diet another 5 days; 14 h before sacrifice, some animals were force-fed a sucrose diet. Activity of lactase, sucrase and maltase was increased in adrenalectomized and sham-operated rats.
