Abstract
Summary The intestinal transport of D-Xylose was studied in the rat using 2 different methods of in situ perfusion. The absorption of xylose is inhibited by the presence in the perfusate of any of the following substances (listed in decreasing order of their inhibitory ability): phlorizin > glucose > 3-0-methylglucose > fructose > 3-0-methyl-fructose > xylitol > arabinose. The results can be explained by assuming a xylose carrier site of a rather complicated nature on the epithelial membrane.
