The critical difference between rat milk and rat chow with respect to their effects on jejunal sucrase activity during the 4th postnatal week was studied. Rats were weaned onto special diets on postnatal day 17 and jejunal sucrase was assayed on day 28. A pelleted diet containing lactose as sole carbohydrate did not cause depression of sucrase activity. Sucrase values (.mu.mol/h per mg protein) were 10.49 .+-. 0.81 (n = 15) for the lactose chow and 6.65 .+-. 0.29 (n = 16) for the sucrose chow. The nature of the dietary carbohydrate apparently does not account for the sucrase differences of weaned and nonweaned animals. The physical consistency of the diet is unimportant because sucrase values were just as high on a liquid diet (10.91 .+-. 0.77 .mu.mol/h per mg protein; n = 8) as on the solid diets. When the relative proportions of carbohydrate and fat in the diet were varied, there were significant effects on sucrase activity; values on a low carbohydrate diet (4.30 .+-. 0.33 .mu.mol/h per mg protein; n = 8) being less than 1/2 those on a high carbohydrate diet (10.91 .+-. 0.77 .mu.mol/h per mg protein; n = 8).
