Permeability of the small intestine to substances of different molecular weight

C A Loehry et al. Gut. 1970 Jun.

Abstract

The permeability of the rabbit small intestine has been studied by measuring the plasma clearances of water-soluble molecules over the molecular weight range 60-33,000. An inverse relationship has been demonstrated between permeability and molecular weight. The significance of these findings in relation to current concepts of the ;pore hypotheses' is discussed, and the possible physiological and pathological implications are considered.
