Glucose Absorption in Highly Inbred Strains of Mice. ∗

Abstract

Conclusions

1. Glucose absorption in the mouse has been studied. Increasing the concentration of administered solution results in an increase in the amount of glucose absorbed. 2. Glucose solutions of 75% concentration were absorbed somewhat more readily by mice of the C57 strain than by those of the A strain (p = 0.015). 3. Administration of 25% glucose solutions leads to some diminution of the phosphatase activity of the small intestine determined both chemically and cytochemically.
