RESUMO
Objective: To study the effect of GLP-Ⅱ on residual bowel absorption of glucose in a rat model of short bowel syndrome. Methods: Rats undertaken 75% small bowel resection were randomly assigned to SB group and SB/GLP-Ⅱ group. Another group of weight-matched normal rats(Normal) received normal diet ad libitum was used as control group for SB group. All rats were allowed normal chow on the 1st postoperative day(POD). On the POD6,the intestinal glucose absorption data per unit length as well as per unit weight of ileum were measured by in vivo circulatory perfusion experiment. Results: Length of perfused ileum in 3 groups of rats were not significantly different. Wet weight to length ratio of perfused ileum in SB group was significantly higher than that of normal group,but significantly lower than that of SB/GLP-Ⅱ group. 45min glucose absorption of per cm ileum in SB/GLP-Ⅱ group was significantly higher than that of SB group(P0.05). Conclusions: In a rat model of SBS, GLP-Ⅱ can enhance the intestinal glucose absorption measured as per unit length of resudial ileum and GLP-Ⅱ manifests a trend to increase the glucose absorption measured as per unit wet weight of resudial ileum.
