Effects of perfusion rate and glucose concentration on glucose absorption in intestinal thiry-vella loop in sheep.
The effects of the perfusion rate and glucose concentration in perfusate on glucose absorption in the intestinal Thiry-Vella loop of conscious sheep were studied. When 10 mM glucose was perfused at the rates of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 ml/min, the absorption rates were 77.1 +/- 2.2, 54.9 +/- 2.3, 31.6 +/- 2.1 and 12.9 +/- 0.3%, respectively. When 5, 10, 20 and 40 mM glucose solutions were perfused at 1 ml/min, the absorption rates were 75.5 +/- 1.7, 52.2 +/- 2.2, 29.4 +/- 1.9 and 19.5 +/- 0.1%, respectively. We conclude that the perfusion of 10 mM glucose solution at 1 ml/min, in which about a 50% absorption rate was obtained, are the optimal conditions for the study of glucose absorption in the intestinal loop of sheep.
