Calcium dependence of protein transport by the small intestine of the new-born pig

Resumen El transporte de albumina en el intestino delgado del cerdo esta asociado con un aumento en el transporte de fluido. Ambos transportes son inhibidos por altas concentraciones de calcio. Ausencia de calcio tambien inhibe el transporte de albumina. Condiciones optimas en el transporte de albumina y fluido se obtienen usando Cl₂Ca4 mM en el medio. Se deducen analogias al comparar estos resultados con resultados similares en ameba, obtenidos de la literatura.     

In vitro studies on bilirubin transport by the small intestine of the rat

Resumen Se estudió el transporte de bilirrubina no conjugada en asas intestinales aisladas y perfundidas de rata. Los resultados indican un pasaje bidireccional con la probable participación de un mecanismo de difusión simple.

Amino acid transport by small and large intestine of newborn pig

Summary Unidirectional fluxes of different amino acids have been determined across newborn pig small intestine and colon. The systems responsible for amino acid transport are present in the same proportion in both tissues. Colonic transport of amino acids appears to represent a transient overspill function of the small intestine.     

Diurnal rhythm of active calcium transport in rat intestine

Summary The active calcium transport along the small intestine of adult rat was shown to exhibit daily rhythmic variations of considerable amplitude. Both the light-dark cycle and the time of food presentation acted as synchronizers of the rhythm observed.This work has been supported by Polish Academy of Sciences within the project MR II.1.1.6.

Galactose and leucine transport in the developing rat small intestine

Summary Jejunal transport of galactose and leucine was studied in 9-45-day-old rats by means of the everted sac technique. Maximum transport was observed in 9-10-day-old rats, but then decreased until the 22nd day, and remained unchanged from then on. There were no remarkable differences in the pattern of galactose and leucine transport over this period.     

Specificity limits of L-leucine transport in chicken small intestine

Zusammenfassung Die Darmabsorption von Leucin wurde bei Hühnern in vitro im 5-Sekunden-Versuch untersucht und ein Absorptionssystem für Leucin beschrieben.     

A new biopsy-tube for the small intestine

Zusammenfassung Beschreibung einer neuen Sonde, die sich für Dünndarmbiopsie eignet und bei der die verschiedenen Vorgänge bei der Biopsie einzeln reguliert werden können. Es wird über Ergebnisse bei 28 Patienten berichtet, wobei keinerlei Komplikationen auftraten. In jedem dieser Fälle konnte eine histologische Wertung durchgeführt werden.

Transport of thiamine by the small intestine in vitro

Riassunto È stato studiato il trasporto in vitro della tiamina con la tecnica dei sacchetti intestinali rovesciati di ratto. Usando una concentrazione di tiamina molto bassa (0.21 µM/l) si dimostra il passaggio della vitamina contro gradiente di concentrazione. L'impiego di inibitori metabolici e di analoghi strutturali della tiamina conferma l'esistenza di un trasporto attivo. In particolare l'inibizione del trasporto da parte della sola piritiamina, noto inibitore della tiaminochinasi intestinale, suggerisce la possibilità che alla base del meccanismo di trasporto della tiamina vi sia la sua fosforilazione.     

Effect of dinitrophenol on the pattern of methionine transport along the small intestine of the rat

Zusammenfassung Der Transport desL-Methionins durch die Rattendarmwand wurde in vitro untersucht. Die Transportgeschwindigkeit im Verlaufe von 1 h ist am höchsten im unteren Jejunum und im oberen Ileum (Abschnitte 4, 5 und 6). DNP-verursachte Hemmung ist in diesen Darmabschnitten am stärksten, was das Verschwinden des Maximums bewirkt.
