The effect of aminoacids on the sugar absorption of rat small intestine, in vivo

Abstract

The Effect of Aminoacids on the Sugar Absorption by Rat Small Intestine, in vivo. Rev. esp. Fisiol., 30, 111-118. 1974.

The effect of 20 mM L-leucine, L-glicine or L-arginine on the in vivo absorption of D-glucose and D-galactose (at concentrations 20, 4 and 2 mM) by rat small intestine

has been studied.
The presence of the aminoacids significatively inhibits the absorption of sugars.

The inhibitions are somewhat higher when the sugar is D-galactose, and the best time of absorption to show them is that of 5 minutes.

No relationship has been found between percent inhibition and initial sugar concentration.
