Table 2. Kinetic parameters of Na-glutamine co-transport in PRX treated villus cell BBMV.

Vmax
(nmol/mg protein•6 sec)
Km
(mM)
Control 3.4 ± 0.1 24 ± 0.6
Inflamed 1.9 ± 0.2* 27.2± 1.2
Inflamed + PRX 3.3 ± 0.1* 23.3 ± 1.6

PRX treatment reversed the maximal rate of uptake (Vmax) of Na-glutamine co-transport which was significantly diminished in chronically inflamed intestine (n = 3, *p<0.05). The affinity of the BBM Na-glutamine co-transporters remained unchanged in all conditions.
