Abstract
The intestinal mucosal reaction to colchicine in guinea pigs as measured by sucrase, maltase, and gamma glutamyl transpeptidase activity is described. There is a significant fall in disaccharidase activity without alteration in the peptidase activity after colchicine administration. This suggests a specific response of the disaccharidase system rather than a generalized toxic mucosal effect of colchicine.
