Effect of Steroids on Intestinal Lipid Uptake in Rats Is Enhanced by a Saturated Fatty Acid Diet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Glucocorticosteroids enhance sugar digestive and absorptive functions of the intestine, but their effect on lipid uptake is unknown. Modifications in dietary lipids alter the nutrient transport properties of the intestine. The influence of 4 weeks' treatment with budesonide (BUD), prednisone (PRED), or control vehicle in weanling rats fed either an isocaloric semisynthetic saturated fatty acid diet (SFA) or a polyunsaturated fatty acid diet (PUFA), on the uptake of lipids was assessed using everted gut rings. PRED and BUD increased the uptake of several fatty acids, and this was higher when the animals were fed SFA rather than PUFA. Changes in expression of the mRNAs for L-FABP (liver fatty acid binding protein) and ILBP (ileal lipid binding protein) did not explain these alterations in lipid uptake. Dietary lipid signalling of this adaptive response may involve proglucagon, c-jun, TNF-alpha and IL-10, whereas steroid signalling may involve proglucagon. In summary, steroids increase the absorption of lipids by a process which can be enhanced by the substitution of saturated for polyunsaturated lipids in the diet, and which is not explained by alterations in the expression of the mRNAs of L-FABP or ILBP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
