In vitro intestinal absorption of glycine and L-alanine by rainbow trout, Salmo gairdnerii, Rich.
Tissue accumulation and serosal transfer of glycine and L-alanine have been studied in vitro in trout with duodenal, ileal and posterior portions of the intestine. Neither tissue accumulation nor serosal transfer was stimulated by mucosal glucose. The absorptive capacity of the three portions was different. The various modes of expression of the results (i.e. with respect to fresh weight, length or surface) lead to different conclusions regarding the so-called specialization of the portions.
