title: Triiodothyronine (T3) and fructose coordinately enhance expression of the GLUT5 gene in the small intestine of rats during weaning period.
abstract: 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.
