DAVS, M.D., M.R.C.P. School of Medicine, The University of New South Wales, Prince Henry Hospital, Sydney, Australia A study was undertaken to adapt intestinal lactase in weanling rats and to correlate changes in lactase activity with in vivo lactose hydrolysis. The postweaning decline in lactase activity was not prevented by feeding a 10% lactose diet. Lactase activity subsequently rose at 8 weeks of age and remained high for the duration of lactose feeding. A decline in lactase activity occurred after withdrawal of lactose from the diet, and when lactose was reintroduced lactase activity rose. The time taken for these adaptive responses varied between 5 and 10 weeks. Changes in jejunal lactase activity were accompanied by similar alterations in both sucrase and maltase activities, while there was no alteration in another brush border enzyme, alkaline phosphatase. The increase in lactase with a ph optimum of 5.8, with slight alteration of the enzyme with a more acid ph optimum, was taken to be evidence for a brush border location. This was supported by the correlation between increased lactase activity and increased in vivo hydrolysis of 14C-1-lactose in isolated loops of intestine. ntestinal lactase activity is high in the suckling rat, and a postweaning decline in activity has been well documented. 1-6 This study was undertaken to determine the effect of prolonged lactose feeding. Was the postweaning decline prevented, and, if so, did lactase activity subsequently rise?

Experiments were also carried out to establish whether changes in lactase activity were associated with corresponding changes in lactose hydrolysis. Materials and Methods Experiment 1 The effect of feeding 10% lactose on lactase activty. Wistar rats were bred and fed a completely synthetic diet containing either 10% lactose or no lactose. A synthetic diet enabled the carbohydrate content to be changed at will without affecting any of the other components. The diet consisted of 30% protein, 50% carbohydrate, and 9.6% fat with vitamin and mineral supplements. The two groups of animals were on isocaloric diets in which the total carbohydrate content was the same. Both the mother and the baby rats ate the same diet until the young rats were removed from the mother at the age of 4 weeks and were pair-fed in groups of 5. Animals were killed using ether anesthesia, in groups of 5, at intervals of 7 days until 8 weeks of age and thereafter at 2- to 3-week intervals. At 24 weeks the diets were reversed and at 32

Segments of intestine, 1 cm long, were taken from standard sites one and two-thirds of the total distance of the small intestine to obtain representative samples from jejunum and ileum. The mucosa was scraped off, immediately frozen on Dry ce, weighed, and then homogenized in distilled water by hand in a Bellco glass homogenizer to give a final concentration of 20 mg per ml. The homogenate was immediately frozen on Dry ce and stored at 4 C in polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes. Enzyme activity assay. Disaccharidase assays were performed on the same day under the same conditions for both test and control animals by the method of DahlqvisF at both ph 5.8 and 2.0. Protein concentration was measured by the method of Lowry et al. 8 Activity is expressed as micromoles (units) of substrate hydrolyzed per min per g of tissue protein. Alkaline phosphatase activity was estimated by the method of Bergmeyer 9 and is expressed as moles of p-nitrophenol liberated from p-nitrophenylphosphate per 30 min per mg of protein. ntestinal absorption studies. After an overnight fast, the animals were given intraperitoneal Nembutal (2 mg per 100 g of body weight) followed by ether anesthesia. The abdomen was opened and a polythene tube was inserted into the proximal end of the jejunum. At a distance of 20 cm, a second tube was inserted into the intestine, establishing an isolated loop in situ. This loop was gently washed through with about 10 ml of saline to remove residual food debris and biliary and pancreatic secretions; then a small amount of air was blown through the loop to empty it as completely as possij:.le. n 0.5 ml of water, 100 mg of lactose, labeled with approximately 3 f...c "C-l-actose, were injected through the proximal tube into the loop. After 20 min, the loop was washed through with 60 ml of normal saline to remove the nonabsorbed radioactivity. The loop was removed and the animal was killed. Aliquots of the standard solution and washouts were then counted in a liquid scintillation counter. The difference in activity between the two was assumed to represent hydrolysis of lactose and absorption of its constituent monosaccharides. Experiment 2 The effect of feeding 10% liquid lactose on lactase activity. Two groups of rats were again compared under conditions similar to those in experiment 1. One group was fed a diet in which the 10% lactose was given in liquid form in the drinking water and the control group had a lactose-free diet. The rats were again pair-fed in groups of 5 and killed at 2- and 3-week intervals from the age of 7 to 15 weeks. Results Experiment 1 The rats fed the test diet containing 10% lactose grew at the same rate as those animals on the control diet. ntestinal lactase activity in animals from both groups continued to decline after weaning and reached their lowest levels at 6 weeks of age (fig. 1, table 1). Lactase activity in the control animals continued at these low levels. However, in the rats fed 10% lactose, an increase in jejunal lactase activity was first noted at the age of 8 weeks (table 1), and thereafter significantly elevated levels of intestinal lactase activity continued until the age of 24 weeks. There was also a less marked increase in ileal lactase activity occurring at a later age (table 1). The diets of two groups of animals were reversed at the age of 24 weeks. After 8 weeks it was found that there had been a decrease in lactase activity in those animals previously on a diet containing 10% lactose (fig. 1, table 1), while lactase activity rose in the animals changed to 10% lactose diet. The diets were reversed once more, and, at the end of an additional 8 weeks, jejunal lactase activity had again declined in the control animals changed back to a lactosefree diet (fig. 1, table 1). This decline was maintained at the end of 10 weeks. Although there was no increase in jejunal lactase activity in the test animals changed back to a 10% lactose diet after 8 weeks, at the end of 10 weeks lactase activity was significantly higher than in the control group. Changes in lactase activity were accompanied by changes in both sucrase and maltase activity (table 1). This change in activity was not associated with any significant alteration in alkaline phosphatase, another brush border enzyme. The increase in lactase activity in rats

Hydrolysis of 14C -J-lactose in the isolated loop. n vivo hydrolysis of 14C-1-lactose in 20-cm loops of intestine was compared at the age of 24 weeks in 7 control and 7 test animals. The animals fed 10% lactose hydrolyzed 44% (range, 18.5 to 70.2%) of the test dose of lactose 14C-1-lactose, while the animals fed a lactose-free diet hydrolyzed 22.4% (range, 13.0 to 30.2%) of the dose (P < 0.05). The increased hydrolysis of 14C-1- lactose in animals fed 10% lactose was associated with higher levels of jejunal lactase activity (mean, 26 U per g of protein) compared with the activity in the control group (mean, 16 U per g of protein). Experiment 2 n those animals receiving lactose in liquid form, an increase in intestinal lactase activity was noted at the age of 10 weeks in both the jejunum and ileum, and these elevated levels were maintained until the age of 15 weeks when the experiment was terminated. Discussion The postweaning decline in intestinal lactase was not prevented by feeding neonatal rats a diet containing 10% lactose. By the age of 5 weeks intestinal lactase activity was similar in both control and test animals. Continued feeding of a lactose diet produced an increase in both jejunal and ileal lactase activity. The rise was noted first in the jejunum at the age of 8 weeks, and later in the ileum, and was maintained during the period of prolonged lactose feeding. Cain et a.,lo using rats approximately 4 weeks old with already low lactase activity, showed that lactase activity subsequently rose with continued feeding of up to 60% lactose, the rise occurring after 5 to 7 weeks on the diet. This time taken for adaptation to occur is similar to that obtained in the adult rat. l1 12 When there was an increase in jejunal lactase activity at 8 weeks, there was a corresponding increase in both sucrase and maltase activity. Similar alterations in sucrase and maltase accompanied the decline and subsequent rise in jejunal lactase values when lactose was withdrawn and later added to the diet. When these changes in disaccharidase activity oc-

While Broitman et al. 13 were unable to show alterations of in vivo hydrolysis of lactose accompanying a rise in lactase activity, in this study an increase in lactase activity was associated with increased in vivo hydrolysis of 14C-l-actose. There is evidence for the presence of two lactases in rat intestinal mucosa, one with a ph optimum of 5.5 to 6.0, and another with a ph optimum of 2 to 3.5 3, 14 The enzyme with a higher ph optimum appears to be specifically designed to hydrolyze lactose and is located in the brush border. 15 The enzyme with a more acid ph optimum seems to be less specific, probably lysosmal in origin, and is not likely to participate in intestinal digestion of lactose. The finding in this study of an increase in a lactase with a ph optimum of 5.8, with small alteration of the enzyme with a more acid ph optimum, is evidence for a brush border location of this enzyme, as was implied by the correlation between increased lactase activity and increased in vivo hydrolysis of lactose. t was of interest that other studies on adaptation 2, used relatively large amounts of lactose in the diet (up to 60%), while adaptation of intestinal lactase occurred in this experiment with a level of lactose comparable with that found in the diet of normal Western children. There was also an adaptive effect of liquid lactose on lactase activity and one could speculate that milk would be just as effective. These results show that intestinal lactase in the rat is an adaptive enzyme, that adaptation is related to diet, and that changes in lactase activity are associated with corresponding changes in lactose hydrolysis. The time required for adaptation ranged between 5 and 10 weeks. However, a number of questions regarding the control of intestinal disaccharidase activity are raised. The postweaning decline in lactase activity in the rat occurs independently of lactose in the diet and presumably is dependent upon genetic control. Furthermore, lactase activity does not completely disappear in those animals who have eaten a lactose-free diet since weaning. The effect of dietary glucose on adaptation of lactase in the adult rap2 suggests that it is glucose that prevents the disappearance of intestinal lactase, while values above this are dependent upon lactose intake. The synthetic diet in this study was sucrose-free, yet normal sucrase activity was maintained. This may be due either to dietary glucose, or to the fact that control of intestinal sucrase is linked with maltase and lactase, Rosensweig and Herman 16 having previously demonstrated a link between sucrase and maltase. The interrelationship between lactase, sucrase, and maltase activities and changes in diet demonstrated in this study indicate that the dietary control of disaccharidase
6 March 1971 EFFECT OF DET ON LACTASE ACTVTY 437 activity is complex. Knudsen et al. 17 showed that fasting in man produced a fall in all disaccharidase activities together with protein and alkaline phosphatase. Rosensweig and Herman 18 confirmed these findings, and suggested that carbohydrate, rather than calories, was required to influence disaccharidase activity. Rosensweig and Herman 16 demonstrated that dietary sucrose, as compared with dietary glucose, significantly increased maltase and sucrase activity but not lactase activity. The concluded that fructose was the active principle in the sucrose molecule. The same workers 18 could not decrease lactase activity by feeding 4 normal subjects a 3000-cal diet for 2 months with glucose as the only carbohydrate. t would appear that the dietary control of intestinal lactase is mediated via a different mechanism than that postulated for sucrase and maltase. As the time response for adaptive changes in sucrase and maltase was coincidental with the estimated turnover time of human intestinal epithelium, it was postulated that the dietary effect on disaccharidase activity was primarily at the crypt cell level. 19 The time response for dietary adaptation of lactase in the rat consistently takes 5 to 10 weeks Moreover, relatively short term experiments at induction of lactase activity in man over periods of 10 days to 2 months have not been successful Presumably, therefore, the effect of dietary lactose is either not primarily upon the crypt cell or there are some intermediate steps involved before the crypt cell responds.
