- Lindberg, R., Fulginiti, V. A., Koldovsky, O., & Bustamante, S. A. (1981). 521 INCREASED LACTASE ACTIVITY IN SUCKLING MICE TREATED WITH CORTISONE OR INSULIN. Pediatric Research. doi:10.1203/00006450-198104001-00534More infoInjection of cortisone is known to induce sucrase activity precociously in suckling rodents. A recent report (Develop. Biol. 69:661) indicated a similar effect of insulin in mice. To study the mechanism of this insulin induction, we have attempted to reproduce the experiments reported, using Swiss ICR mice and injecting insulin daily (12.5 mU/g BW/day, s.c.) starting on day 8 and sacrificing 24 and 72 hours later. No precocious induction of sucrase was observed, but interesting effect on lactase was seen. These data as well as data on littermates treated with cortisone acetate (25 μg/g BW/day) are summarized below [only values for midjejunum are given, similar results were observed in proximal jejunum and ileum; lactase activity (μmoles/60 min) is given per mg of protein (SA), or per segment (TA); mean ± SEM (N). Top: 24 hours, lower line: 72 hours].Treatment either with cortisone or insulin evoked significant increase of lactase (SA and TA) (exception *). Further studies have to elucidate the mechanism of action of these hormones on lactase; a possibility exists that the insulin effect is secondary due to the adrenal cortex stimulation by hypoglycemic stress.
