Abstract
The absorption of F in presence and absence of Mo was studied in albino rats ranging in age from weanling to adults, employing isolated gastrointestinal tract segments and the entire tract in the intact animals. These data indicate that age plays a prominent role in absorption of F as affected by Mo. In general, the presence of Mo significantly (p =0.05) increases the absorption of F from the 1st portion of the intestine of older animals and acts inversely in young animals. The reverse is seen in the stomach where Mo appears to decrease absorption of F in older animals, and either increases it slightly or has no effect in younger animals. These data suggest that in older animals the presence of Mo may increase absorption of F.
