Test of the adaptive modulation hypothesis in rodents: dietary flexibility and enzyme plasticity
The phenotypic response of digestive enzymes was assessed in two species of rodents with
different foods habits. Species were Phyllotis darwini (omnivorous) and Octodon degus
(herbivorous). The activity of sucrase, maltase and aminopeptidase-N were determined in
vitro in animals feeding two contrasting diets. No effect of dietary chemistry on sucrase and
maltase activities was observed. Nevertheless, aminopeptidase-N showed a reversible
response to diet in P. darwini but not in O. degus. Through Principal Component Analysis we …
