Abstract
Influence of the pH on the absorption rate of sugars by rat intestine in vivo was revised by a technique for intestinal lumen perfusion with 1 min absorption periods. Absorption at pH 2.5, 5, 7, 8.5, and 10 was compared in each animal. Absorption rate of D-glucose, D-galactose and D-fructose is highest at pH 7 and decreases at the lower or higher pH values. The pH does not affect the absorption of D-arabinose. The pH effect is attributed to changes in the transport system for sugars.
