Abstract
The effect of dietary sucrose on transcription activity of chromatin from intestinal cells of adult rats was investigated. Chromatin-bound RNA polymerase II activity was significantly enhanced after feeding sucrose to rats. RNA polymerase II transcribes the genes coding for pre-messenger RNA. The results indicate that feeding of sucrose increased the synthesis of pre-messenger RNA molecules coding for specific proteins which are involved in the adaptive processes of sucrose hydrolysis in intestinal cells.Entities:
