Abstract

The transfer of acetic, propionic and butyric acids was studied in vitro, using everted sacs of rat caecum. In experiments it was never shown an absorption against the electrochemical potentiel. Short fatty acids flux through caecal membranes is assumed to involve solely passive diffusion.
