Penetration of the small intestinal mucosa by asbestos fibers.
Amosite asbestos fibers suspended in saline were placed in an isolated segment of rat jejunum in vivo. One hour later, segments of jejunal mucosa were taken for examination in three of the five rats exposed to the amosite suspension. Fibers also were presented in the lamina propria.
