Abstract
Summary Intestinal transport of glucose in vitro was studied in rats treated with ad-renocorticotropic hormone, hydrocortisone, desoxycorticosterone, thyroid powder and methyl thiouracil by use of everted small intestine sac technique. The concentration of glucose in the medium was 0.3%. ACTH, hydrocortisone and desoxycorticosterone treatments increased significantly the intestinal absorption of glucose. The thyroid hormone did not influence intestinal absorption of glucose in rats.
