Intestinal absorpiton of ascorbic acid and its passage through the lipoid membrane of guinea pigs.
Diffusion of ascorbic acid takes place through intestinal lipoid membrane of guinea-pigs. In consequence, plasma and leucocyte concentrations of ascorbic acid increase. Intestinal absorpiton of ascorbic acid in scorbutic guinea-pigs is impaired in contrast to that in normal and saturated guinea-pigs as shown by the accumulation of ascorbic acid in the intestinal mucosal cells of guinea-pigs.
