Rank of immunoreactions of GLUT2 in small intestinal mucosa of calves.

<p>¹Rank of immunoreactions of GLUT2 in apical and basolateral membranes were performed in duodenum, proximal, mid, and distal jejunum 2 h after feeding on d 2 of life in preterm (PT) and term (T) born calves and on d 4 of life in term born and colostrum-fed calves (TC).</p><p>²Values are means ± standard error, differences between two groups (within a segment, ns = non-significant) or between location (apical versus basolateral, * <i>P</i> < 0.05) are tested with Kruskal Wallis Test.</p><p>Rank of immunoreactions of GLUT2 in small intestinal mucosa of calves.</p

Gene and protein expression of glucose transporters in small intestinal mucosa of calves.

<p>¹ Gene and protein expression of glucose transporters SGLT1 and GLUT2 were performed in duodenum, proximal, mid, and distal jejunum 2 h after feeding on day 2 of life in preterm (PT) and term (T) born calves and on day 4 of life in term born and colostrum-fed calves (TC).</p><p>²Values are means ± standard error, n = 7 per group, different values between segments (within one column) of each parameter are shown with lowercase letters (^a,b<i>P</i> < 0.05).</p><p>Gene and protein expression of glucose transporters in small intestinal mucosa of calves.</p

Immunofluorescence analysis of GLUT2 protein in small intestinal mucosa of calves.

<p>Protein expression of GLUT2 is shown in duodenum (A) and proximal jejunum (B) of preterm born calves (PT), in proximal jejunum (C), mid jejunum (D), and duodenum (E) of term born calves (T), and in proximal (F) and mid jejunum (G) of 4-day old and colostrum-fed calves (TC). Immunofluorescence analysis was performed without anti-GLUT2 antibody in duodenum (H; PT calf) and mid jejunum (I; TC calf).</p
