The effect of protein deficiency on the small intestinal carbobidrase system after the transition to the definitive nutrition in rats

Abstract

The effect of protein deficiency on enteral carbohydrases during post-lactotrophic feeding of rat pups was studied. During this period, low protein intake (8% of the energy value of the diet versus 27% in the norm) negatively affects the growth of body weight and pancreas of rats, leads to the disruption of the activity of intestinal enzymes without changing the morphological development of the small intestine.
