[Oxygen uptake and active transport of glucose by small intestine of lizard Lacerta galloti (author's transl)].
The lizard intestine capability for active transport of D-glucose has been studied in vitro at 30 degrees C. A release of glucose and fructose from intestinal tissue to the medium took place throughout the incubation period. An active transport of glucose against a concentration gradient from the mucosal to the serosal compartment was found, but in a Na+--free medium (Tris as a substitute) this process was strongly inhibited--. The oxygen uptake was 50% higher in the presence of glucose than in its absence.
