title: Transport of glucose and leucine by intestinal membrane vesicles in genetic diabetes.
abstract: Na+-dependent D-glucose and L-leucine uptakes by isolated small intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles were studied in normal and genetically diabetic mice (C57BL/KsJ-dbm). Vesicles from normal mice demonstrated transport characteristics and morphological appearances identical to those from other mammalian small intestinal brush-border membrane isolates. There was no difference found between genetically diabetic mice and their littermate controls. These data suggest that the small intestinal brush-border membrane transport is not altered in genetic diabetes in contrast to that found in drug-induced diabetes.
