Effect of an antiglucocorticoid (RU-38486) on hydrocortisone induction of maltase-glucosamylase,sucrase-isomaltase and trehalase in brush border membranes of suckling rats

Summary Induction of -glycosidases by hydrocortisone in suckling rats is inhibited by the daily administration of an antiglucocorticoid (RU-38486). Conversely, RU-38486 injected daily in 15-day-old rats for 7 days does not prevent the spontaneous development of -glycosidases.
