(A) Effect of intestinal resection on jejunal mRNA expression of GLUT5. (B) Effect of corticosteroids on jejunal mRNA expression of GLUT5 of rats undergoing intestinal resection. Values are mean (SD). n=sample size. GLUT5, sodium independent fructose transporter in the brush border membrane. In (A), R=resection, T=transected. Ratio of resected versus transected animals. *p<0.05, resected versus transected. In (B) C=control, B=budesonide, P=prednisone and D=dexamethasone. Ratio of treatment (glucocorticosteroids) versus control animals. *p<0.05, budesonide, prednisone, or dexamethasone versus control; †p<0.05, prednisone or dexamethasone versus budesonide; ‡p<0.05, dexamethasone versus prednisone.
