Abstract
The activity of alkaline phosphatase in small intestine mucosa was increased by about 40% in rats adapted to a high fat diet in comparison to high-carbohydrate-adapted animals. As high fat-feeding leads to an increase in the intestine's capacity to absorb fat, this finding is consistent with the hypothesis that alkaline phosphatase in the small intestine epithelium plays a role in fat absorption.Entities:
