title: Starvation-induced changes in the autoradiographic localisation of valine uptake by rat small intestine.
abstract: We report here the effects of a 72-h fast on the localisation of Na-dependent [3H]-valine uptake by rat small intestine. Starvation results in the earlier appearance of valine transport during cell migration and an enhanced accumulation of the amino acid at the villus tip.
