..., the activities of apical intestinal peptidases increase within 15 h, in some cases by rapid increase in enzyme transcription followed by rapid translation and translocation to the intestine's apical, brush-border membrane (BBM). Focusing on aminopeptidase-N (APN), we studied intestinal digestive enzyme...

.... Specific dynamic action of these meals (43–60 kJ) was 13–18% of total meal energy. Feeding triggered significant increases in mucosal mass, enterocyte width and volume,and the upregulation of d -glucose uptake rates and aminopeptidase-N activity. Total intestinal uptake capacity for l -leucine, l -proline...

... also measured the mass of metabolically active organs, and the activity of a key digestive enzyme, aminopeptidase-N. No significant effect of thermal acclimation (i.e. between cold- and warm-acclimated animals) was observed for body mass, MMR, body temperature or factorial aerobic scope. However...
