Abstract
In three separate investigations in Zambian African adults in Lusaka an inverse association has been shown between serum IgG concentration and either glucose absorption rate from the jejunum (from a 200-mM solution) or xylose absorption (from a 25-g oral load). In developing areas of the world, where serum IgG concentrations are often high, this finding may have widespread nutritional implications.Keywords
