The effect of cortisol on stimulation of enzymatic activity and absorption of amino acids in the small intestine of adult hamsters

Lactose ingestion in the adult golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus).

“…Although the mechanism that underlies the hamster's unusual tolerance for lactose remains to be investigated, certain possibilities may be considered. For example, continued lactose consumption may lead to a gradual increas in the production of intestinal lactase, levels of which are normally quite low in adult hamsters (Andres et al, 1984, 1985). Unfortunately, relevant data regarding lactase induction in the golden hamster are not available at this time.…”

“…To extend our knowledge about lactose preference and ingestion, the following studies investigated lactose intake in the golden hamster ( Mesocricetus auratus ). Although intestinal lactase levels are quite low in adult hamsters (Andres, Rebolledo, Taboada, & Otero, 1984, 1985), preliminary observations indicated that hamsters would voluntarily consume substantial quantities of lactose without obvious adverse effects. The present studies were performed to further explore this phenomenon.…”
