Abstract
The transfer of acetic, propionic and butyric acids was studied in vitro, using everted sacs of rat cecum. Absorption against the electrochemical potential was not seen. Short chain fatty acids flux through cecal membranes is assumed to solely involve passive diffusion.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
