Abstract
Summary When tritiated water was introduced into the lumen of the intestine of rats equilibrium with body water occurred in about an hour. Collections of absorbed tritium in the lymph and body water showed that 97% was absorbed into the portal system and only 3% into the mesenteric lymph. The author wishes to express his gratitude to Dr. M. F. Sullivan for his suggestions and comments in preparation of this manuscript.Keywords
