Abstract
Rats underwent surgical removal of either the proximal or distal half of the small bowel. 5–6 weeks later, total protein concentrations and electrophoretic patterns were determined in sera from the two groups of resected animals. The data compared to similar measurements from sham-operated and unoperated control groups, showed no differences between resected or control animals. This indicates re-establishment of overall nutritional adequacy by this time interval after substantial loss of either proximal or distal small intestine.
