title: [Peroxidation of the small intestine and its effect on absorption of amino acids in burned rats].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamic changes of the level of lipid peroxidation products (malonaldehyde, MDA) of intestine, intestinal water, Na-K ATPase activity of intestinal mucosa and the intestinal leucine absorption rate of rats subjected to 30% III degrees burns. The results showed that the value of the intestinal MDA was higher, the Na-K ATPase activity of the intestinal mucosa reduced markedly, the wet/dry ratio of intestinal weight was increased significantly and the intestinal leucine absorption rate in vivo was distinctly reduced postburn. However, the content of intestinal MDA and the wet/dry ratio of intestine weight was significantly reduced, and the Na-K ATPase activity and leucine absorption rate was increased in burn rats treated with SOD and CAT than in untreated burn rats. These results strongly suggested that lipid peroxide may play an important role in the impairment of leucine absorption rate of intestine after burns, and the edema and reduced Na-K ATPase activity of intestinal mucosa resulted from the increased lipid peroxide might take active parts impairing the intestinal absorption.
