β¦ Synopsis
D-glucose, when dissolved in an aqueous medium, is composed of an a-and @-isomer. Faust ('60) has demonstrated, with human red cells into which glucose penetrates rapidly but not against a concentration gradient, that P-D-glucose penetrates into these cells three times more rapidly than a-D-glucose. Consequently, it would be of interest to establish whether or not the isomers of "actively" transported D-glucose are absorbed by the rat jejunum at similar rates.

The intestinal absorption of seaweed minerals (Ca, Zn, Fe) was compared with their inorganic salts, in YI'YO, using a perfused intestinal loop in the rat. A similar uptake of Ca from both sources was observed (19.1k21.0 vs 9.9k14.7 pmoVcm/min, NS), (meankl SD), as for Zn (38.8i26.5 vs 47.4k35.0 p,mo
