Fig. 8. Small intestine uptake capacities of L-leucine, L-proline and D-glucose. and intestinal aminopeptidase-N activity of fasted (following a 30-day fast, open bars) and fed (2 days postfeeding, solid bars) Python brongersmai, P. molurus, P. regius, P. reticulatus and P. sebae. After feeding, all five Python species significantly increased uptake of each nutrient and aminopeptidase-N activity; *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
