Induction of chick embryonic intestinal disaccharidases by hydrocortisone and sucrose in the organ culture system.

Abstract: SummaryThe effect of hydrocortisone and sucrose on the development of chick intestinal disaccharidases was studied using the organ culture system. When intestines of 15 and 17-day-old embryos were cultured in the presence of hydrocortisone, there was significant enhancement of disaccharidases activity compared with the control. However, there was no effect in the 20-day embryonic intestines.On the other hand, the disaccharidase activity of cultured intestines from 20-day-old chick embryos were significantly st… Show more

“…Chicken is now to be added to the list. (18,19); both increased rapidly around the period of hatching. The difference in the time of spurt between CRBP(II) and disaccharidases might suggest that the induction of CRBP(II) and disaccharidases is triggered by different humoral and/or dietary factor(s).…”

“…For instance, in adult humans [24] and rats [3,14,23] the activities of sucrase and maltase were stimu lated by diets enriched either in glucose, fruc tose or sucrose. Furthermore, a stimulation of both enzymes by dietary carbohydrates has been demonstrated in vitro in the 20-day-old chick embryonic intestine after addition of sucrose in the culture medium [26]. Such a stimulatory effect was, however, not ob served on cultured adult mouse intestine when fructose was added to the culture me dium [2].…”

“…Organ culture is a useful model for the study of the factors that may influence differentiation of the fetal small intestine directly. This ill vitro system has already been applied successfully to chick embryonic intestine for the study of calcium absorptive mechanisms and their regulation (27), as well as to morphological and enzymatic regulation by hormones and substrates (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). In the fetal rat or mouse intestine, this technique allowed the study of morphological maturation in different culture conditions (\ 9,34,35).…”
