Ligation or external fistulation of the common bile duct in the rat. I. Intestinal sucrose hydrolysis and absorption in vivo.
72 h after ligation of the common bile duct in the rat the sucrose hydrolysis in vivo was greater than in sham-operated animals, whereas the absorption of the split products, glucose and fructose, was not altered. In bile-depleted rats the sucrose hydrolysis did not differ from that in the control group. The absorption of the split products, glucose and fructose, was diminished. The alterations of the sucrose assimilation were - though statistically significant - rather small. Thus, the presence of bile in the intestinal contents does not seem to be very important for the hydrolysis and absorption of sucrose in vivo.
