When rats were fed a complete diet for 3 hours out of every 12 hours (0600–0900 and 1800–2100, EST), feeding cued 12-hour cycle rhythms were found in the activity patterns of monosaccharide transport, and mucosal sucrase, isomaltase, maltase, trehalase, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyltransferase, l...
