Abstract
1. The protein nitrogen, carbohydrate and amino acid contents of the rat duodenum, jejunum, upper and lower ileum have been determined for up to 3 hr following the feeding of a glucose-containing test diet.2. The changes in distribution of Hymenolepis diminuta within the intestine and the changes in worm total nitrogen and carbohydrate have been followed over the same period following the same diet.3. The glucose and TCA-soluble carbohydrate contents of the uninfected gut were approximately double those of the parasitized animals.
