Expression of SGLT1 mRNA in (a) duodenum, (b) jejunum, and (c) ileum; the animal groups are as outlined in the text. mRNA is shown as “relative expression” whereby the copy numbers of the transporter transcripts of interest are normalized to the copy numbers of the housekeeping gene GAPDH in attempt to allow an estimate of total cellular expression per enterocyte. NC = naïve control, sham-sham celiotomy; SBT1 and SBT8 = small bowel iso-transplantation at 1 wk and 8 wk postoperatively, resp; and T/A1 and T/A8 = jejunal and ileal transection/reanastomosis at 1 wk and 8 wk postoperatively, resp..
