  • Title: Modulation by thyroxine of the amount of lactase protein in the jejunum of adult rats.
    Author: Nsi Emvo E, Launay JF, Raul F.
    Journal: Enzyme; 1986; 36(3):216-20. PubMed ID: 3100292.
    Abstract:
    Adult rats starved for 48 h received a daily injection of thyroxine over a 3-day period before they were killed. When compared to nourished animals, starvation provoked a 4- to 5-fold increase in immunoreactive lactase protein, which paralleled a similar stimulation of lactase activity in the brush border membranes of the proximal jejunum. Exogenous thyroxine completely inhibited the starvation-induced increase in immunoreactive lactase protein in both the intracellular and the brush border membranes.
