Abstract
Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPP IV) activity has been shown cytochemically to decrease significantly in enterocytes of children suffering from coeliac disease. This decrease is due to a halving of the time available for enterocytes to express DPP IV in their brush-border membranes during development. This effect is compared with previous results showing coeliac disease to inhibit disaccharidase activities selectively.Entities:
