Restoration of the jejunal mucosa in rats refed after prolonged fasting
Abstract
To investigate the importance of body fuel depletion on gut rehabilitation after food deprivation, we compared the kinetics of jejunal mucosa alteration and restoration in rats that were refed after reaching different stages in body fuel depletion. Rats (P2) were refed while still in the so-called phase II, where body protein utilization is minimized, whereas rats (P3) were refed when they had reached the stage of increasing protein utilization …
