Studies of Absorption-transport Mechanisms in the Small Intestine

摘要

Studies concerning the mechanisms of intestinal glucose absorption indicate that the monophosphoesterases are not distributed along the intestinal length in a pattern which would directly involve them in the absorption process. The kinetics of these phosphatases indicate support for the concept that phosphorylation of glucose is not involved in its transport across the mucosa.nThe oxygen utilization by in vitro intestinal segments during glucose transport indicates a dependency upon glycolytic pathways for the increased energy requirements.
