Effect of ethanol on glucose and tyrosine transport in the rat small intestine.
The effect of ethanol on the intestinal absorption of glucose and tyrosine in the rat small intestine has been studied. Ethanol inhibits the active transport of these substrates both in incubation and preincubation experiments. Ethanol, besides, increases diffusion of arabinose, which may indicate an unspecific alteration of intestinal permeability.
