[The effect of hyperthermia during pregnancy in rats on the postnatal ontogeny of the mechanisms of intestinal carbohydrate hydrolysis and transport in the progeny].

In experiments on Wistar albino rats, it has been shown that exposition of animals to a temperature 40-41 degrees C from the first to the last day of gestation selectively inhibits intestinal transport of glucose in offsprings. At the same time, membrane hydrolysis of lactose and the absorption of the produced glucose increase, maltose utilization remaining essentially unaffected.
