Abbreviations. AKP, alkaline-phosphatase; LAP, leucine-aminopeptidase; PS, pancreatic segments; IS, intestinal segments; BBM, brush border membranes. 1Data are presented as means ± SEM. Means in each row sharing the same superscript letter or absence of superscripts are not significantly different decided by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey HSD test (). SEM, standard error of means.
