Mean solute concentration for use with the Michaelis-Menten equation applied to the analysis of data from intestinal perfusion experiments.
A number of algebraic expressions for the solute concentration for use with the Michaelis-Menten equation during the analysis of data from intestinal perfusion experiments have been investigated. It is concluded that the most suitable, especially if water absorption is occurring, is of the form: S = (S initial--S effluent)/ln(S initial/S effluent).
