Abstract

Oral administration of a 70% solution of sucrose to starved adult rats resulted 1 h after feeding in a 3.5-fold stimulation of intestinal chromatin template activity assayed in vitro using E. coli RNA polymerase. A similar stimulatory effect was observed with fructose, whereas glucose exhibited a weaker effect, indicating that the nature of the ingested carbohydrate may have a direct effect on the extent of intestinal chromatin template activation.
