Effect of a high-saccharose diet and a selenium supplement on proteinase activity in the mucosa of the rat small intestine

Influence of high-sucrose diet and high-sucrose diet supplemented with selenium on proteinase activity in rat small intestinal mucosa and on rats' growth has been examined. Being added to the diet, selenium raised cathepsin D activity and did not change the activity of alkaline proteinase. High...

Description
Summary:	Influence of high-sucrose diet and high-sucrose diet supplemented with selenium on proteinase activity in rat small intestinal mucosa and on rats' growth has been examined. Being added to the diet, selenium raised cathepsin D activity and did not change the activity of alkaline proteinase. High-sucrose diet supplemented with selenium led to a two-fold increase in alkaline proteinase activity. The sucrose diet did not change the activity of the enzymes under consideration. The body growth of the animals fed selenium was significantly retarded.
