  • Title: The effect of cortisol on stimulation of enzymatic activity and absorption of amino acids in the small intestine of adult hamsters.
    Author: Andrés MD, Rebolledo E, Taboada MC, Fernandez Otero MP.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1984; 79(4):525-8. PubMed ID: 6150787.
    Abstract:
    The s.c. administration of cortisol to hamsters (50 mg/kg body wt/day for 4 days) produces a significant increase in maltase sucrase, alkaline phosphatase and leucineaminopeptidase activity in intestinal mucosa. Lactase activity is unaffected by cortisol. Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase activity increases slightly in females but remains unchanged in males. Cortisol causes increase in proline and glycine absorption without changing the absorption of lysine.
