METHOD FOR DETERMING ABSORPTION OF GLUTAMINE-INCLUDING PEPTIDE IN SMALL INTESTINE USING Caco-2 CELL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for determining absorption of a glutamine- including peptide in a small intestine simply and accurately.;SOLUTION: The method of this invention is to incubate Caco-2 cell from human colon cancer (or a cell having virtually equivalent property to the cell) in combination with a glutamine-including peptide in culture medium not including both free glutamine and blood serum and to determine the quantity produced of alanine and proline.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
