title: Preference of Peyer's patches to jejunal epithelium for intestinal absorption of oligopeptides, tyrosylglycylglycine and D-kyotorphin.
abstract: The intestinal absorption of oligopeptides, peptidase-degradable tyrosylglycylglycine (TGG) and peptidase-resistant L-tyrosyl-D-arginine (D-kyotorphin, D-KTP) across Peyer's patches (PP) in rabbit intestine were studied using an Ussing-type chamber and in situ closed perfusion methods. The clearance for the serosal appearance of intact TGG across PP by the Ussing-type chamber method was a little higher than that across the jejunal epithelium (JE). Meanwhile, the in situ closed perfusion experiment showed that the clearance for the plasma appearance of intact TGG across PP was about 10 times that of JE. Furthermore, it was shown that the clearance for the plasma appearance of D-KTP in PP was about twice that in JE by the in situ closed perfusion method, indicating that the membrane permeability of PP was higher than that of JE. Therefore, these results indicate that PP had less metabolic peptidase activity than JE, and that the PP was a suitable site for the intestinal absorption of oligopeptides, especially peptidase-degradable peptides.
