Abstract
Intestinal closure to cow’s milk beta-lactoglobulin occurs within 6 days of birth in the guinea pig. Passive intestinal permeability to lactulose persists through the suckling period. The uptake of small water-soluble markers does not reflect macromolecular absorption, and has no place in the measurement of immunologic protein handling by the gut.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
