[Intestinal absorption of glucose and galactose in the rat determined by blood hexose].
Adult rats are used to consume their diet within the space of 30 min. They are sacrified after fasting 2 hours or 30 to 90 min. after the end of meal. Blood sugars are determined. -- The administration of galactose (GAL group) at 40 p. 100 of the diet induces a high postprandial galactosemia (near 600 mg p. 100 ml) without glycemia change: the absorbed galactose is not converted into glucose. -- The consumption of glucose-galactose mixture (G-G group) don't induce postprandial hyperglycemia. However, galactosemia is about 250 mg p. 100 ml. In our conditions, glucose and galactose seem absorbed by two different systems. The galactose absorption would be favoured; otherwise, the absorbed glucose would be partly epimerized into galactose. Galatitolemia goes on 24 hours after the meal but it is not immediately modified by the galactose consumption. The galactosemia and galactitolemia variations are independent one of the others.
