Abstract
Using EM autoradiography and scanning electron microscopy, evidence was provided on the space-time character of the transport of enterally introduced liposomes containing 125I-lecitin and 3H-cholesterine. Liposomes underwent degradation on the mucous surface of the epithelial cells, followed by the appearance of monolayer vesicles to be transported to the glycocalix area between the microvilli. This is accompanied with the release of the radioactive tracer from liposomes and its transport to enterocytes.
