[Course of the adaptation of carbohydrate accumulation in the small intestine of chickens after saccharose feeding].

The increase of the accumulation of carbohydrates in the intestinal mucosa after a saccharose diet was investigated in vitro (accumulating mucosa preparations of the chicken intestine). An hour after saccharose application the accumulation capacity was already increased. The total accumulation of glucose and fructose was investigated after supplying an equimolary mixture of saccharose. Conclusions were drawn that the adaptation of the transport system which presupposes a hydrolysis of the disaccharide takes place more rapidly than the adaptation of the transport of both the monosaccharids. After feeding saccharose once more the increase of the accumulation capacity is in the distal intestinal part higher than in the two other intestinal parts.
