Aquaporins mRNA and protein expression in rat jejunal mucosa under fasting and fed conditions. a Quantitative real-time RT-PCR of total RNA was performed from jejunal mucosa of rats under fasting (16 h) and fed conditions using specific primers for AQP3, 4, 6, 7, 8. mRNA expression level of AQP6 was significantly higher and that of AQP8 lower in fed condition. *, P < 0.001 vs. fasting (Student's t test). MW, molecular weight markers. b Immunoblot of jejunal mucosa homogenates from fasting and fed rats.
