Abstract
Intestinal absorption of Al was studied in rat everted gut sacs. Al transport and uptake in the jejunum initially rose with increasing bath Al concentration but reached a plateau with high bath Al concentrations. The Al transport was inhibited by dinitrophenol, absence of glucose and a temperature of 4.degree. C. There was no change with acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, parathyroidectomy or parathyroid hormone injection. The Al absorption from the rat jejunum involved an energy-dependent, carrier-mediated mechanism.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
