Circadian rhythms in disaccharidases of rat small intestine and its relation to food intake. 1976

M Saito, and E Murakami, and M Suda

The activities of maltase and sucrase of the small intestine were low at night and high in the daytime in rats which had been fed from 09.00 h to 15.00 h for 2 weeks. A remarkable rise of enzyme activities was observed at 08.00 h, 1 h before the start of feeding. The rhythmic changes in disaccharidase activities continued for at least 2 days after starvation, but completely disappeared after 5 days of starvation. It was suggested that the disaccharidase rhythms are not a direct consequence of food intake, but that anticipation of food intake acts as a trigger for initiation of the disaccharidase rhythms.
