Abstract
The effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D) on the activity of intestinal disaccharidases, maltase, sucrase, trehalase and lactase, was studied in five-sixths nephrectomized uremic rats. In uremic rats, maltase, sucrase and trehalase activities were lower than in sham-operated rats. Administration of 1,25-D produced significant improvement of maltase, sucrase, trehalase and lactase activities in uremic rats. These results suggest that activities of intestinal disaccharidases are reduced in uremic rats and these activities are normalized after 1,25-D administration.
