Abstract
The effect of Misoprostol (an analog of PGE1) on the biochemical changes in the small intestine of suckling rats was studied. Misoprostol increases sucrase activities in the proximal and the distal small intestine. Jejunal aminopeptidase N activity is higher in Misoprostol-treated rats than in the control rats. This drug also modifies the relative weight of the small intestine and the mucosal ratio of DNA to RNA. Misoprostol effects appear to be mediated by corticosterone release.
