The activities of the digestive enzymes, maltase [EC 3.2.1.20], sucrase [EC 3.2.1.26], trehalase [EC 3.2.1.28], Leucine aminopeptidase [EC 3.4.11.1], and alkaline phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.1] were measured in various regions of the small intestine of rats. The activities of all these enzymes were much higher in the jejunum than in the ileum, and in the distal regions of the ileum no sucrase, trehalase or alkaline phosphatase activity was detected. In the jejunum, the activities of all the enzymes tested exhibited clear circadian variations with the highest activity at 0000-0400 h and the lowest at 1200 h when the rats were fed ad libitum. In the ileum, maltase and sucrase also exhibited circadian variations, but the amplitude of the rhythm was smaller than that in the jejenum. Trehalase and alkaline phosphatase did not show any circadian variation in the ileum. Leucine aminopeptidase showed a circadian variation in the ileum with the same amplitude as in the jejunum. The phase of the circadian variations shifted about half a day when the rats were fed in the daytime, but the amplitude of the rhythm did not change.
