Prenatal induction of sucrase activity in rat jejunum. 1977

P Celano, and J Jumawan, and C Horowitz, and H Lau, and O Koldovsky

Daily application of cortisone acetate (10mg/100g body wt.) or L-tri-iodothyronine (20 microng/100g body wt.) to female rats in the last (third) week of pregnancy elicits a precocious appearance of jejunal sucrase in their foetuses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D014284 Triiodothyronine A T3 thyroid hormone normally synthesized and secreted by the thyroid gland in much smaller quantities than thyroxine (T4). Most T3 is derived from peripheral monodeiodination of T4 at the 5' position of the outer ring of the iodothyronine nucleus. The hormone finally delivered and used by the tissues is mainly T3.
