title: [Study on the absorption and utilization of D-galactose and D-glucose by liver and muscular tissue in the albino rat].
abstract: In order to compare the disposition of D-galactose and D-glucose in various organs of the rat, we have measured the amount of 14C-galactose and 14C-glucose present in the enteric canal, blood, muscle and liver, 2h. after the oral administration of the labelled esoses. Our results show that the two esoses are ebsorbed almost completely and to the same extent by two hours after their administration, Galactose has a longer half-life than glucose, being more slowly utilized in the synthesis of glycogen in liver and muscle.
