The intestinal Na+/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and H+/peptide cotransporter 1 (PEPT1) play important roles in the absorption of carbohydrate and protein. Although they exhibit a diurnal rhythm in their expression and function, the factors responsible for this are unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of various feeding conditions on the diurnal rhythm of intestinal SGLT1 and PEPT1. Rats were divided into 1 of 4 groups: group 1 was fed, group 2 was food deprived for 1-4 d, group 3 was food deprived for 4 d and then refed for 1 or 2 d, and group 4 was fed during the daytime (0900-1500 h) for 10 d. In fed rats, the SGLT1 protein level was significantly higher at 2000 h than at 0800 h. However, in rats deprived of food for 2-4 d, protein levels did not differ between 0800 and 2000 h. In contrast, the SGLT1 messenger RNA (mRNA) level was significantly higher at 2000 h than at 0800 h in rats deprived of food for 4 d. Refeeding for 2 d after 4 d of food deprivation returned the diurnal variation in SGLT1 and PEPT1 protein expressions to normal. Consuming food during the daytime only shifted the peaks of SGLT1 and PEPT1 mRNAs and protein expressions from the dark phase to the light phase. These findings suggest that food intake, rather than the light cycle, greatly affects the diurnal rhythm of SGLT1 and PEPT1 expressions.
