Intestinal Folate Absorption
and 2%, respectively, was converted to 5-AMeFH4. In contrast, less than 4% of the folate transferred across ileal mucosa was 5-MeFH4 when the initial mucosa concentration was 20 nM. Specific activity of dihydrofolate (DHF) reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting PGA to tetrahydrofolic acid, was measured in villus homogenates and was significantly greater in the jejunum than in the ileu...
متن کاملIntestinal adaptation in diabetes: amino acid absorption.
LAL, DHEERAJ, AND HAROLD P. SCHEDL. Intestinal adaptation in diabetes: amino acid absorption. Am. J. Physiol. 227(4): 827-831. 1974.-Since the diabetic rat shows adaptations in intestinal hexose absorption, we studied amino acid absorption 5 and 12 days after induction of diabetes with alloxan or streptozotocin. We perfused the entire small intestine intraluminally with 5 mM amino acid solution...
متن کاملFolate absorption
Folic acid, or pteroylglutamic acid, is the parent substance of a large group of related compounds called 'folates'. All folate compounds have the same basic molecular structure consisting of three parts: pteridine, para-aminobenzoate (these two together forming a pteroyl group), and L-glutamic acid (Fig. 1). Pteroylglutamic acid itself is a stable, watersoluble compound with a molecular weight...
متن کاملINTESTINAL ZINC ABSORPTION IN DESFERROXAMINE-TREATED RATS
Desferroxamine (Desferal) is used tochelate iron in thalassemia, a disease of very high prevalence in various parts of lran. We have investigated intestinal zinc absorption in Desferal-treated rats which, in pilot experiments, showed low serum levels of both iron and zinc. Intraperitoneal administration of ten 0.5 g doses of Desferal (one injection every other day) to male rats produced sev...
متن کاملInvestigation of Intestinal Absorption of Pyridinones in Rat
Recently, it has been shown that a number of hydroxypyridinones such as 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (L1) are useful for the treatment of iron overload in place of desferrioxamine in thalassaemic patients. In this study, the intestinal absorption (I.A.) of L1 and one of its analogues namely 2-methy-3-hydroxypyridin-4-one (L2), which possesses a higher partition coefficient (Kpart) than L...
