Figure 4. Glucose-stimulated sodium absorption and SGLT1 protein levels.

Figure 4

(a) Ussing chamber flux studies using 22Na showing the effect of AA-ORS on glucose coupled Na absorption. AA-ORS treatment increased JnetNa absorption in 5 Gy irradiated tissues (n = 8). (b) Western blot analysis for SGLT1 protein and beta-galactosidase, showed increased protein levels with AA-ORS treatment in villus cells from 0 Gy and 5 Gy mice. Immunoblots were repeated four times. (c) Normalized SGLT1 protein levels for western analysis. Significant difference in SGLT1 protein levels was observed in 5 Gy irradiated mice treated with AA-ORS when compared to 5 Gy mice. (d) SGLT1 transcript levels in intestinal tissues from mice treated with saline (black bars) or AA-ORS (hatched bars) following 0 or 5 Gy irradiation. Values are means ± S.E.M. from n = 6, *indicates statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) from saline treated animals. Saline or AA-ORS was given for 6 days.
