1. The absorption in vivo of d-galactose by the rat small intestine has been examined in proximal jejunum and distal ileum by use of a recirculation—perfusion technique. 2. Multiple sequential perfusions over 4 h produced no subsequent functional or morphological damage in the perfused segments. 3. Absorption of galactose from 8 and 64 mmol/l solutions was found to be independent of flow rate over the range 1·0–6·5 ml/min. 4. Galactose absorption in both the jejunum and the ileum exhibited saturation kinetics of the Michaelis—Menten type, and phlorrhizin sensitivity. Sorbose was only absorbed minimally. These observations demonstrate that galactose is absorbed by carrier-mediated transport and that there is no significant passive diffusive component in vivo. 5. Under the stated experimental conditions, the maximum absorptive capacity was 4·5 times greater in the jejunum than in the ileum. The Michaelis constant for galactose was higher in the jejunum than in the ileum. 6. Enterocytes were isolated from perfused segments and quantified by DNA assay with a correction for yield. In this manner, the absorptive capacity per enterocyte was calculated. 7. The maximum absorptive capacity per enterocyte was 3·5 times greater in the jejunum than in the ileum.

The flower bud of Daphne genkwa (Genkwa Flos) is a commonly used herbal medicine in Asian countries. Luteolin and apigenin are two recognized active flavonoids in Genkwa Flos. The aim of this study was to investigate the intestinal absorption mechanisms of Genkwa Flos flavonoids using in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion rat model. Using HPLC, we determined its major effective flavonoids luteolin, apigenin, as well as, hydroxygenkwanin and genkwanin in biological samples. The intestinal absorption mechanisms of the total flavonoids in Genkwa Flos (TFG) were investigated using in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion rat model. Comparing the TFG absorption rate in different intestinal segments, data showed that the small intestine absorption was significantly higher than that of the colon ([Formula: see text]). Compared with duodenum and ileum, the jejunum was the best small intestinal site for TFG absorption. The high TFG concentration (61.48[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g/ml) yielded the highest permeability ([Formula: see text]). Subsequently, three membrane protein inhibitors (verapamil, pantoprazole and probenecid) were used to explore the TFG absorption pathways. Data showed probenecid, a multidrug resistance protein (or MRP) inhibitor, effectively enhanced the TFG absorption ([Formula: see text]). Furthermore, by comparing commonly used natural absorption enhancers on TFG, it was observed that camphor was the most effective. In Situ single-pass intestinal perfusion experiment shows that TFG absorption is much higher in the small intestine than in the colon, and the TFG is absorbed mainly via an active transport pathway with MRP-mediated efflux mechanism. Camphor obviously enhanced the TFG absorption, and this could be an effective TFG formulation preparation method to increase clinical effectiveness after Genkwa Flos administration. Our study elucidated the TFG absorption mechanisms, and provided new information for its formulation preparation.

beta-Casomorphins (beta-CMs) derived from milk beta-casein may exert various opiate activities in milk-fed infants. To assess the physiological significance of beta-CMs as a source of circulating opioids in infants, we measured absorption rates of several beta-CMs under near-physiological conditions using in situ autoperfused lamb intestine. The naturally occurring beta-CMs, beta-CM-7 and beta-CM-4-amide, were absorbed readily into blood with no transfer into lymph. Uptake peaked within several minutes of the luminal infusion of peptide but then declined sharply and stopped within a further 10-15 min. The recovery in blood, intestinal contents, and tissue at the end of the 30-min experiment was less than 1% of the infused dose. The low recovery was due to rapid proteolysis based on in vitro studies that demonstrated half-lives of less than 5 min in lamb blood, luminal contents, and lymph. The synthetic dipeptidyl peptidase IV-resistant analogue beta-[D-Ala2]CM- 4-amide was stable during incubation in blood, lymph, or luminal contents and was absorbed into blood at rates that were maximal within several minutes and remained steady for the 30-min period. We conclude that although natural beta-CMs are transferred across the lamb small intestine, rapid degradation within the intestinal lumen, gut epithelium, and blood would prevent entry into the circulation under normal conditions. Val-beta-CM-7, a putative stable precursor, had similar stability and kinetics of absorption to beta-CM-7, results that exclude Val-beta-CM-7 as a stable precursor for delivery of beta-CMs to the circulation. Essentially identical results to those in lambs were obtained in 7-day-old piglets.

Fatty Acid Esterification

Fatty acid esterification was measured in fetal jejunal and ileal isografts implanted under the kidney capsules of adult host rats and compared to the age-controlled intestine grown in situ. Studies were conducted on the 21st, 35th, 49th, and 63rd postconceptional days, corresponding to prenatal, suckling, weaning, and weaned rats. Substantial fatty acid esterification activity was found in prenatal jejunum but not in ileum. A proximal-distal gradient of fatty acid esterification was observed in all groups grown in situ, but not in isografts. The monoglyceride pathway (MG-P) accounted for about one-third of total fatty acid esterification (TFAE) in jejunum grown in situ and remained constant through the study. In the ileum, MG-P was the major esterification pathway during the first 4 postnatal weeks, but decreased progressively after weaning to become insignificant in adult rats. TFAE fell in the jejunal isografts, whereas it increased in the ileum. MG-P remained as the major pathway in the implanted jejunum and ileum. Our studies suggest that luminal contents are probably the most important modulator for the development and maintenance of intestinal fatty acid esterification, and "fetal programming" manifested by changes in fatty acid esterification mechanisms in the isografts is less important.

Ph Profiles

The intervillous pH profiles along the crypt villus axis in different regions of the rat small intestine were measured in vitro by using pH-sensitive liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes. A characteristic pH profile was observed in the duodenum and jejunum. A region of low pH was detected in the upper parts of the villi (pH 6.65 +/- 0.06 to 6.85 +/- 0.07), whereas pH at the villus base was always higher. In the ileum no gradient was observed (pH 7.26 +/- 0.05 to 7.31 +/- 0.05). Preincubation of the tissue in situ with 10 mM theophylline for 1 h caused an increase in the villus base pH in the jejunum (pH 7.24 +/- 0.04) and ileum (7.44 +/- 0.04) followed by a subsequent increase of the pH in the upper part of the villi. These results indicate that the low pH in the upper intervillous space may be related to H+ secretion occurring from the mature enterocytes, whereas the crypt cells may secrete a rather neutral or slightly alkaline fluid. Alkaline secretion from the crypts may be increased by theophylline, which changes the levels of cyclic nucleotides in the mucosa.
