Disorders of intestinal amino - acid transport
There are obvious analogies between disorders of intestinal amino-acid absorption and the more familiar anomalies of carbohydrate absorption. Both monosaccharides and free amino acids are important water-soluble nutrients which must be transported across the lipid-containing intestinal cell membrane by specific active transport processes involving concentration of the compounds within the cell ...
متن کاملAmino acid absorption and homeostasis in mice lacking the intestinal peptide transporter PEPT1.
The intestinal peptide transporter PEPT1 mediates the uptake of di- and tripeptides derived from dietary protein breakdown into epithelial cells. Whereas the transporter appears to be essential to compensate for the reduced amino acid delivery in patients with mutations in amino acid transporter genes, such as in cystinuria or Hartnup disease, its physiological role in overall amino acid absorp...

Ig63.Either a-aminoisobutyric acidI -Cl4 or I -aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid-I-Cl4 was injected into a rat and, after at least 24 hr, a suitable dilution of the same solution of the amino acid was introduced into an intes...
متن کاملInhibition of small-intestinal sugar and amino acid transport by the enterotoxin of Shigella dysenteriae I.
The enterotoxin of Shigella dysenteriae I produces fluid and electrolyte secretion in the rabbit ileum. These present studies were designed to evaluate nonelectrolyte transport in rabbit ileal mucosa exposed to Shigella enterotoxin. Both 10 mM galactose and 5 mM L-alanine absorptions were significantly impaired in enterotoxin-exposed ileal mucosa compared with control mucosa. L-Alanine influx w...
متن کاملIntestinal adaptation and amino acid transport following massive enterectomy.
Morphological and physiological adaptation in residual small intestine occurs after massive enterectomy and is influenced significantly by different growth factors and hormones. The mechanism of adaptation occurs through hypertrophy and hyperplasia as well as nutrient transporter changes. These transporters are classified into different classes dependent on its biological properties. The adapta...
