Figure 4From: Gene expression of transporters and phase I/II metabolic enzymes in murine small intestine during fastingHypothetical schematic overview of effects of fasting on small intestinal transporters and phase I/II metabolism genes. Not all results are summarized in this figure. The direction of transport is shown (↑) in the transporters, + means upregulated and – means downregulated during fasting. (A) Increased energy metabolism. (B) Diminished intestinal motility. (C) Elevated cholesterol secretion. (D) Increased xenobiotic metabolism. (E) Diminished capability of detoxification. (F) PPARα dependent regulated genes.Back to article page
