Transport of nutrients and kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km) of brush border membrane (BBM) enzymes were studied in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum from atherogenic diet-fed monkeys. The Km remained unaltered while feeding of atherogenic diet resulted in higher Vmax of sucrase, maltase, and alkaline phosphatase and lower Vmax of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase and leucine-aminopeptidase compared to controls. Na+-dependent D-glucose transport was higher in duodenum and jejunum and unaltered in ileum. In contrast to D-glucose transport, the transport of amino acids was decreased in all three intestinal segments from atherogenic diet-fed monkeys.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007082 Ileum The distal and narrowest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between the JEJUNUM and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE.
D007421 Intestine, Small The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM. Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D007583 Jejunum The middle portion of the SMALL INTESTINE, between DUODENUM and ILEUM. It represents about 2/5 of the remaining portion of the small intestine below duodenum. Jejunums
D007931 Leucyl Aminopeptidase A zinc containing enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the removal of the N-terminal amino acid from most L-peptides, particularly those with N-terminal leucine residues but not those with N-terminal lysine or arginine residues. This occurs in tissue cell cytosol, with high activity in the duodenum, liver, and kidney. The activity of this enzyme is commonly assayed using a leucine arylamide chromogenic substrate such as leucyl beta-naphthylamide.

D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
D005723 gamma-Glutamyltransferase An enzyme, sometimes called GGT, with a key role in the synthesis and degradation of GLUTATHIONE; (GSH, a tripeptide that protects cells from many toxins).
