title: Unchanged intestinal absorption in rats fed a high sweet paprika-containing diet.
abstract: The absorption rate of radiolabelled nutrients (22Na, 45Ca, [35S]methionine, [3H]leucine) was investigated in vivo in Sprague-Dawley rats at the end of a feeding period of 135 days on a semisynthetic diet containing 32% sweet paprika powder. No effect was seen on the intestinal absorption of these compounds, nor on the nutritive experimental parameters in these animals.
