Influence of apolipoprotein E polymorphism on plasma vitamin A and vitamin E levels.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The intestinal handling of dextran, an alpha-1,6-linked glucose polymer, is poor compared with starch, and some ingested dextran might therefore reach the lower small intestine. As luminal sugar up-regulates SGLT1 (sodium-dependent glucose transporter) locally, we report the effects of a dextran-enriched die...
