Abstract
Summary
1. NaTC alone exerted no effect on absorption of glucose from the jejunum. 2. Oleic acid (20 mEq/1 and 5 mEq/1) in the presence of NaTC enhanced the absorption of glucose. 3. Oleic acid and NaTC did not increase absorption of 3-0-methylglucose. 4. Intestinal absorption of oleic acid in a solution of NaTC was not increased by the presence of glucose. 5. It is concluded that enhanced absorption of glucose from the jejunum by the presence of a micellar solution of oleic acid is possibly related to utilization of glucose in intracellular lipid metabolism.
