Abstract
Synopsis Small fluctuations in the activity of a number of important enzymes have been found during the intestinal hyperplasia and hypertrophy of pregnancy and lactation. The pattern of change differs between the enzymes studied, and for individual enzymes often varies between the jejunum and ileum. These results suggest that there must be a complex response to the signals that trigger hyperplasia in the mucosal epithelium.Keywords
