Gene expression profiles of the small intestine. Gene expressions of enzymes involved in intestinal glucose metabolism in nine-hour fasted male wild-type and Fxr–/– mice. Relative mRNA expression was measured by real time PCR as described under “Experimental Procedures.” The results are normalized to β-actin and to the most proximal part of the wild-type mice. Sglt1, sodium-dependent glucose/galactose transporter-1; Glut2, glucose transporter-2; G6pc, glucose-6-phosphatase, catalytic subunit; G6pt, glucose-6-phosphatase, transporter 1. The values are averages ± S.E. (n = 5). *, p < 0.05 between genotypes.
