Triiodothyronine (T3) and fructose coordinately enhance expression of the GLUT5 gene in the small intestine of rats during weaning period.
Jejunal GLUT5 is elevated with triiodothyronine (T(3)) during weaning of rats. A perfusion of fructose into the small intestine of T(3)-injected rats at 21 d induced expression of the GLUT5 gene, but one into that of vehicle-injected rats did not. These results suggest that T(3) and fructose coordinately enhance jejunal expression of the GLUT5 gene in rats during weaning period.
